    Jeanied, are you looking for Jerusalem Artichokes or Globe? If its JA's I can help you out with some as just dug mine up and plenty to spare for planting next year.

        Still haven't got my catalogue

        If anyone is thinking of trying carrots, I had the purple ones last time and they did great. The Giant Red weren't very giant though, although they were very red

        If your leeks work, I'd love some, fankoo

          What kind grapes you are Zazen and Jilly - can I take you up on your offers after the hostilities over Christmas and New Year have subsided?
          *And I'm sure I saw a grape posting the other day about being inundated with wild garlic ....hum.
          And they say wishes don't come true!
          Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

            You haven't any choice with the Oca, it won't be out of the ground until Mid Jan.

              I have some wild garlic bulbs if you want to give some a whirl? Warning though they tend to spead about, so you probably wont need many

                    I had some of the John's Purple carrots last year too and thought they were OK but not the very best. In fact, just had some for my tea mixed with a load of other root veg.

                    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                      This might be the way forward, like insurance, it would be a real shame to lose heritage varieties.

                        If you start the group - I'll join. We'll have to decide who grows what. No use having 6 lots of Bird's Egg beans and nowt else!

                          Quite right Flum!

                          I'll try and get something sorted out over the Christmas period; the difficulty is - as usual - those that join in at the start and never come up with the goods [as running the seed parcel has taught me].....not everyone follows up.

                          And of course, plants like carrots, snoops and onions; only produce seed in Yr 2 - so it needs advance planning.

                          Perhaps once we get some new Mods on here [hint hint] - it will release me and Sarz a bit to do other things......

                          However, you will be Seed Saving Group Member Number 2. We should all have it in our signatures!!! Leave it with me for a few weeks.

                            Me too please Zazen.... please consider me too
                            Never test the depth of the water with both feet

                            The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                            Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                                Me 4 please, as long as I'm allowed to only do peas, beans and tomatoes

                                And if anyone is fancying Bridgewater climbing beans from the HSL catalogue, PM your address instead - I had them as a Lucky Dip last year and have half a basketful of them
