    I’m not sure how the seed bank/swap works. If you list seeds and someone wants them is it as simple as requesting an address and posting them off? OR do you have to actually have to swap something. My seed tin is lurking shouting sort me!

    No you don't have to swap as such but you may find you have something later on that someone wants :)

    Flower seeds :
    Coreopsis Early Sunrise
    Sunflower Autumn Beauty
    Pansy Special Early Mix F1
    Godetia Salmon

    All the above are Sow By 2022 but are unopened.  I do want to keep a few seeds of each but won't be opening the packets until Feb/March or earlier if someone wants them.

    Does anyone have any Physalis ( Chinese Lantern ) and Calendula officianalis ( Pot Marigold ) ?
  • @philippasmith2 i can send you collected 2023 ( ergo random fertilised, not specific variety, but they are organically grown) calendula seeds if you pm me your address . I'd like to keep some, so probably have enough to send one more portion out . some Chaff mixed in , but @AnniD can probably opine on whether they look "clean enough" ( won't be offended if you decline!)
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    @Desi_in_London Thank you - I'd like the Calendula and don't worry about the chaff - I find it hard with most collected seeds to remove all the bits - no problem at all.  I will PM you my address. Thanks again  :)
