    I tend to find myself with a lot of seeds, and at the moment due to the never ending possibility of moving I have no real place to plant them!

    As a consequence I'm chucking out a load of my older ones. Some are beyond sale date, but should be ok, some are beyond best before date.

    Not after anything for them, just want them to go to a good home.I've categorised them as beyong best before date, within 2 years of sell by date (it states on the pack use within 2 years) and in date. They're all Unwins seeds, and the list so far is:


    Little Gem lettuce (beyond use by date)
    Onion Red baron (beyond use by date)
    Onion Long red florence (beyond use by date)
    Onion unwins Exhibition (beyond use by date)
    Onion bedfordshire Champion (beyond use by date)
    Lettuce buttercrunch (beyond use by date)
    French Bean Tendercrop (beyond use by date)
    Courgette Clarita (beyond use by date) (just)
    Flax sapphires & diamonds (beyond sell by date, within 2 years)

    The rest are all within date...


    Leek Castor
    Cauliflower castlegrant

    I also have a load of herbs and veg, so anything you're searching for, I may be worth asking ;)

    Hi there Swanseadel, that is quite a list and very generous of you to offer them.
    Would it be possible to have the following?

    Euphorbia magic Flute
    Lettuce All year Round
    Grasses Annual mixed
    Cabbage red Jewel
    Talinum Kingswood Gold
    Catananche Cupids dart

    I could send you an SAE if you wish, just PM me your address. Also, if someone else wants the same seeds, I would be happy to have a just few of each.

    Many thanks

    That's sorted borrowers, pm sent. Don't worry about the demand, i'm doing a sideline in online book sales, so it's good practice ;)

    Little miss, i'll leave this for a bit longer, then I'll send the remainder on to you, sound a plan?

    I would be most grateful for absolutely anything you have left over once others requests have been filled, I'll soon have a greenhouse up and running and want to grow everything and anything edible or pretty.

    I'll pm you my address, and many many thanks for your kind offer.

    Regards

    Steve...:)

    SAE on its way to you Del, many many thanks.

    I've also requested to join the seed swap list, so whatever I have left over from Del will go into that parcel (along with some others I already have)

    Thanks again!

    Steve...:)
