    Default Bronze Arrow Lettuce

    I received a few as a swap, but haven't managed to grow any and I really did fancy them after reading the HSL write up

    The only other place I've seen them is Real Seeds and they have their 'famous' minimum order policy

    So can anybody spare me a pinch? I have quite a few veg or flower seeds to swap just let me know what you'd like in return.

    It can't be real seeds; can it? Unless with the new seed laws they are putting up stalls in some sample indi garden centres.

    C'mon BB - spill!!!!

    I'll have a look through my book, failing that I'll save seed.
