Our seed swap is being very successful and will probably liven up again soon when the next round of sowing starts. I know I shall have extras, especially from those I saved from my own garden.
Try this link below, we are swapping seeds here online if you want to join in with us you can. I thought that the magazine was going to be like that as well but just buy seeds and have help instead which is nice as well.
All minds think the same there go to the seed swap forum, computer mess up a bit here would of been posted earlier. I have signed up to the seed club and get emails now which is good www.gardenersworld.com/seed-club to sign up if you want
I recently saw some information, on this forum, on what to do to see if seed was still viable for sowing. Have searched but to no avail. Can anyone help please?
What you can do is a test sowing in a small flowerpot of a few seeds
I was given some seeds of limnanthes, fried egg plants which I believe are loved by bees. Can anyone tell me when to plant them please and do I need to chill them first?
Morning Forkers, hope you are all well. I have been so busy with all sorts of other things that I haven't had a chance to pop in here for ages
I received my first email about the GW Seed Club earlier this week but haven't had time to look at it properly yet but at a first glance it looks good. I must say I like the idea of being told what to do and when and how to do it - being an amateur I need a leading hand until I hopefully get the hang of things.!
Geoff, any news on the house sale front? Hope so for your sake.

There has been a thread running here where forum members have been swapping seeds- some have even kindly given them away

I've signed up and have printed off the sowing sheet. Like the way it says most suitable container for the seed as well.

Yes hardy annual so sow in situ-a lot of hardy annuals not like root disturbance.
But if your soil is anything like most others- soggy and cold -wait for it to warm up a bit or they will just rot
