Grow Your Own Magazine

Morning all,

I spent a very satisfying day yesterday sorting out all my seeds and have a list below of what I have to swap. Generally the seeds are from Sutton Seeds but I've saved a bit and noted this in brackets. All seed was bought new last spring.

Black cherry tomatoes
Moneymaker tomatoes
Vento pickling gherkin
Runner beans
Chives
Parsley
Coriander
Mixed salad leaves
Lettuce
Turnip – snowball
Turnip – goldenball
Fennel
Courgette
Radish – cherry belle
Cucumber – marketmore
Cucumber – telegraph
Sweet pepper (saved)
Mixed chilli pepper (red, yellow and orange) (saved)
Chilli – apache (saved)
Beetroot – Detroit red (given to me)


I'm open to all suggestions, but would really like some aubergines, basil, celery, watercress, rocket, interesting carrots and parsnips. Also, if anyone has a few spare onion sets, I'm trying to have a bed of all different types next year. Ditto garlic.

PM me and let me know what you've got.

Hi,

I would love some black cherry tomatoes and telegraph cucumbers. I have some Black Beauty Aubergines (Mr Fothergills) and Rugosa Courgettes (Italian Franchi seeds) if you are interested. I have a lot of other seeds and will have a search later on, I have just come in from the allotments and in need of a soak in the bath.

I would also like some black cherry tomatoes.. if you can share? And some mixed chilli peppers and/or Apache chilli peppers. Have got lots of saved Chilli Pepper Jalapenos in production and Red Onion Seeds (saved). And lots of annual flowers? Still have lots of saved nasturias and maybe some sweet peas and Morning Glories, too.

Hi,

PM me your address and I'll send you some telegraph cucumbers (they were so great thisa year, I couldn't eat them fast enough). I haven't got many black cherry toms left but will send you a few - I had no trouble germinating them, they came up like a dream. Would love some of your courgette and aubergine seed - i'll send you my address.
