     I've been going through my seeds recently and have come across envelopes with saved seeds, packets with half the seeds used and new packets of seeds I'm unlikely to use. I thought I'd pop them on here for a  week or so and if anyone wants any of them then just send me a pm. If not then I'll bring them to the next allotment meeting.

    Saved seeds
    Aquilegia random mix, these are taken from blue white or yellow flowers I grow.
    Calendula
    Cornflower mixed colours I've grown pink, burgundy and white, pale blue and the normal deeper blue ones.
    Foxgloves, some native and some saved from Candy Mountain but they may not come true.
    Lupin mixed
    Corncockle
    Cosmos Sensation
    Cerinthe Major Purpurascens

    Opened pks

    Moonshine Sunflower
    Thumbergia Susie Mix
    Rudbeckia Brilliant Star
    Purple HOnesty
    Hollyhock Majorette Mix
    Wallflower Orange Bedder
    Lavatera Silver Cup
    Lavetera Twins Hot Pink
    Zinnia Early Wonder Mix

    You are right Bekkie,  sometimes there is just enough room for our two plates on the table. I have a big box of saved seeds from this year hoping someone wants something.

    I find it quite upsetting having to throw seeds away when the dear plant has produced them. What soffties we are with our gardens.
