Hi Cotton,

If I remember correctly your not far from me. If thats the case could I interest you in Helichrysum & Stattice they are thru and as soon as I've pricked out what I want you are welcome to the remainder. Also I've got some spare Cosmos ( tall one not the short jobby).

Drop me a PM

Cotton
I would love to have a go at the naked oats, Real Seeds had run out when I put my order in. Do you have enough sweetcorn now, I have the Real Seeds variety, some to spare.
What flowers would you like, have sunflower seed, small and large, sweet peas, dwarf and climbing.
best wishes
Sue

Default Naked Oats

I've see Naked oats come up on a few threads and was wondering if anyone could clarify what these would be used for and how they grow as I've never heard of them.
many thanks

This invites a reply for which LJ would mod me for, so perhaps I'll just listen to the more sensible replys that more knowledgeable grapes can give you (and me!)

Hi cotton 54321,

I have some sweetcorn 'minipop' which I bought as a bit of a gamble to grow in my very northerly plot, it didn't do very well last year so I have half a packet left if you'd like to try it. Would love to swap for some land cress and runner beans if poss.
