Sounds good. I'm new to all this though, not sure i have a great deal to share or swap yet! 😁

Just bumping this..............

If I could manage to get a cutting to take I would be so over the moon I don't think I could let it out of my sight :0 however seems a like good idea

Good idea VC, I would be interested and can research on the web how to take a cutting from certain things. Do they travel well?

**veggiechicken** · 13-06-2013, 02:33 PM

Depends on how well they're packaged Tina

I send mine in plastic boxes - of the take away meal sort - inside a padded envelope.
The cuttings could be of anything - eg houseplants, herbs, root cuttings etc. I'm forever turning prunings into cuttings and then don't know what to do with them and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Stella, we need to build your confidence up with some easy cuttings! Things like mints and rosemary that root in water. So go out into your garden, pick a few pieces of new young growth from the tops of the stems and put them in a glass of water - then wait and see

Ok, Great, let me know when its set up and I will add my list of things I have

I had 3 nice rosemary tops in a jug of water as part of a flower arrangement. They were there for at least 2 weeks until they dropped all their spikes, not a root in sight

You're better to pull of sideshoots with a "heel".

I' ve a selection of Streptocarpus ,Caitlin,Katie and Charlotte I could swap if anyone is interested I've also got 2 new ones Black Panther and Lolita but they are a little on the small side to take any leaves off.

You all just need to be aware that as this doesn't follow the seed swap rules of a month plus 50 posts; if anything goes wrong the Mods will not be stepping in to resolve any issues.

Fingers crossed it all goes according to plan.

Thanks Zaz. I was just sounding out whether there was any interest or not as I've been the recipient of cuttings in a swap and it had been suggested that there may be other Grapes who may like to do the same. It could only work on a one-to-one basis and individuals would have to make their own arrangements and sort out any issues. Caveat Emptor and all that

Im in, has anyone got some Comfrey.... 24 or was it 36.... Might be called block 21 or was that room 21. It is the version/variety that doesnt spread too crazy, or was it....... It doesnt flower.

Yes officer i havent been drinking..... Much, hold my can of fosters whilst i look for my license.

If theres anyone around the Basingstoke area i could meet and pick up or i can send an SAE, if this would improve my changes.
