Default various paeony poppy gypsophilia goji berry brocc cauli pumpkin + other flowers

4 varieties,paeony poppy ..(sort of fluffy ones) pink bicolour, flemish antique eSeeds.com - Papaver paeoniflorum 'Flemish Antique' and swansdown Swansdown Poppy Seeds for Pagan Gardens from Alchemy Works

oh, and i have a few black seeds left too, Paghat's Garden: Papaver somniferum 'Black Cloud'

can sow september for early flowering

gypsophilia can be sown now for september flowering


also i have some organic goji berry seeds, on their way, i don't think i'll need 100 of them ..... apparently the seller planted 50 and they nearly all germinated

also have some all year round cauliflower, and autumn spear broccoli, and some hundredweight pumpkins (for giant pumpkins) can sow now

i also have some pink/purple asters, ipomoea purpurea mixed climbers, and tricolour mixed crysanthemums for planting next year, (all say can sow late may, so may be bit late for this year?)

i also have lots of veg seeds left, feel free to ask, i bought tons of everything, and really haven't the room

i would love to swap for some herbs, anything that i can plant and leave in the garden would be great oh, and some beetroot seeds would be good, pak choi, cos i've never heard of it, never mind eaten it, cut and come again lettuce, turnips, swedes ....... or anything weird wonderful and unusual .... especially black flowers oh, and maybe some lavender to encourage insects? i have only seen one bee and one ladybird all year

many thanks

Lynda xx

Hi Lynda, do you still have any gypsophilia? I'm getting married in Septmeber and I'd like to grow some flowers - however, being a bit disorganised, I don't have anything in the ground yet!! Swap you for some swede?

Hi
I dont know if you have any of the black poppies, tricolour mixed crysanthemums and goji berry seeds left. Onion seeds and tomato seeds are of interest to.
I have the following to offer which are nearly all commercial seeds and not ones I have saved (only the purple fennel is saved and I know it is still viable because I sowed some earlier in the year):
insect loveing - purple fennel
sweet basil
thai basil
greek oregano
mixed oriental salad leaves
cress
white globe turnip seeds

Cheers
Sarah

Hi Birdie

If you still need gypsophilia seeds then I have a packet still untouched in their little sachet. I actually had 2 packets by accident! PM me your address if interested.
I dont know if you have seeds to swap or just send me a SAE.

Cheers
Shushkin

May I just say that if the very generous Lynda should run out of goji seed that I have managed to raise 20-25 seedlings from recovered seed from a commercially sold bag for eating. 3 reconstituted berries soaked for around an hour - seeds removed - dried on kitchen paper - then sown into cells.

Feb/Mar Start and down to me I'm afraid - only recently planted into bigger container - but they're going great guns! Have a go - what have you lose?
