Default Seeds for free or swaps!

I only have the following left:

Dwarf bean 'green arrow' (opened with tons left and also TREATED with fungicide*)

*the treated seeds have come from my work which is why they are treated, the fungicides are nothing to worry about (they're pretty colours actually!) but you must wear gloves when handling them and obviously don't eat them/use for sprouting seeds, and i wouldn't let children plant them, just in case. I won't be offended if nobody wants them, i've just given up growing butternuts and don't fancy green arrow beans anymore, everything else listed is untreated and from mainstream catalogues.

If you would like any of the above seeds please let me know.

Hi Nemo

I'm afraid i've already had a PM from someone for the scuba and sultana french beans, but you are welcome to the others. There are about 900 green arrow seeds - would you like the whole packet or just some?

Your nigella seed sounds fab, as do the mysterious french flowers, please can i swap you for some of these? Anything else you would liek please let me know.

Please PM me with your address and i'll get the seeds of to you next week.

happy gardening!

Hi, I would also like some broad beans, if you have enough to spare. I can offer evening primrose and/or calendula in return. PM me if you are interested.

Many thanks. Happy gardening!

Sorry Upwood, there aren't enough broad beans to split them between 2 people.

Apologies
