In the next week I'm going to be sorting out my seeds and then bagging up any spares on Wednesday ready to post out so check back to this thread then
I have a request - cuttings. I'm looking for shrub and rose cuttings purely for myself, but the next bit is more important; Tree cuttings, I asked the head teacher of my son's special needs school today if they would be interested in some weeping willow cuttings for the children to grow and she told me yes as they now have a forest schools area that could really do with more trees. I would love to be able to grow them some more from cuttings so if you can help me out with any that while everything is dormant then that would be be amazing.
I have following seeds going spare. If anyone would like please PM me. Am happy to split the packets. The Physalis is a perennial and the Antirrhinum (snapdragon) are annuals

I have a number of spare self-saved chilli, sweet pepper and tomato seeds. Including some rare and unusual varieties.
I've got plenty, so don't necessarily need any swaps, but let me know if you've got anything interesting.
I'm likely to ask for an SAE or postage to put off anyone asking for freebies without making any regular contribution to the forum then disappearing.
There don't seem to be many tomato or chilli growers on this forum, but happy to help out anyone with genuine interest and enthusiam.
almost all of us grow tomatoes but with self saved seeds you really don’t know what you will get, they don’t always come true to the mother plant.
Lyn, I don't know who you mean by 'almost all of us' and why you feel able to speak on their behalf.
And what you're saying is simply not true for tomatoes, unless you're saving from F1s, which is something different to traditional heirloom varieties.
There are exceptions, but the overwhelming majority of non-F1 tomato varieties will breed true.
