  • Job opportunity - VSP Seed Viability testers required

    There are lots of undated seeds in the VSP and I've been told that some of the chilli seeds are not germinating.
    Subject to the usual seed swap rules, (50+ posts and memberships for one month + and an SAE) would anyone like a random selection of named chilli seeds to test for viability. If they grow, they're yours to keep and hopefully, save fresh seeds for the VSP.
    I'm starting with chillies but if you have a special interest in another category - like tomatoes, squashes etc, let me know, in a post below.

      I'd be interested in trying any chillies that are going - I have no special equipment apart from a heated prop./polytunnel so probably couldn't do much with the fancy hot ones but I'd be more than happy to try them and save seed if they grow

      I might have an SAE already with you (for the Alberto's Locoto seeds) but if you've already sent them I can send another

            Oh, that's a bit worrying. I sent it (with the Lemon Drop Chilli seeds) first class - on Thursday so they should be there soon. I'm sure second class post is actually faster these days!

            Thank you - I'm getting very excited about trying some different chillies this year

              I've got some tom seeds to send in VC so I could do some toms? If you send just two of each variety I can save seed for next year if they germinate.

                  Bingo!

                  I was thinking of asking the same VC, new starters ideas to try free seeds ;-)

                  would be interested for beans, green tomatoes and Okra if available.

                  I have lot of amarnath seeds shared by a friend last weekend. can share if any one likes to give a try.

                    I'll happily give it a go - I'm all for the VSP having a re-stocking of fresh seed from time to time. At the moment I have a heated propagator filled with the VSP facing heaven chillies. Fingers crossed they will come to something.
