    I'd love the Sweet Peppers if no one else asks please. Mine have been a disaster this year and I have far fewer than normal. Also I have no chillis at all, we don't use a lot so perhaps I could try one of each? :imphrt:

    Hostas are always popular :dbgrtmb:

    We'll have a number of them for sale but if you're swapping plants between yourselves you don't really need to pay. :)

      :doh: You should have said three weeks ago because I could have hatched you a couple!
      I only have 3 ducks left at the moment: 1 male indian runner (white) and 2 khaki campbell females.

      You really should have mentioned this before :nonofinger: I would have loved hatching ducklings for a swap. Mind you, I only have a 3 egg incubator so it would have been a juggling act to supply both of you :heehee:

      I can see the Open Day becoming a Trading Market, Shiney, with people turning up with trailers of Pigs, Sheep, Chickens and the like!:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            Loli has given us a really lovely surprise! Instead of bringing the plants she intended, she has sold them and sent us a nice fat cheque :hapydancsmil: :wub2:

              Post a nice, photoshopped, image of your garden on the internet and get all your normal visitors to send you a cheque Shiney? :heehee: Think how it would save your back, and all that work that Mrs Shiney does, eh?!!

              Hats off to Loli :)
