Default Parsnips and stuff

Hi all

Probably not the most original but I have quite a lot of Parsnip "Avonresister" seed from last year's sowing, haven't yet counted how much. When I last looked it was all ripe and ready to be put aside for next year. This variety is shorter rooted so better if the soil is not so deep. Tastes delish and didn't go woody over winter in the soil. Willing to swap for anything a bit different, ideally organic but happy with untreated. Original seed was from King's.

Also looking for info to set up seed swap on our Allotment site in Southampton if anyone has any guidelines. New to this but definitely think swapping and trading is a good way to go. Good vibes on the ideology

Light and blessings

Thanks Adam
That's a help. I know quite a few of my allotment holders save seed and occasionally swap/share informally so hopefully they will "buy in". Will let you know how it goes
