    Bekkie,

    Did you find that your phone worked for PM' s last weekend, because my tablet doesn't allow for PM either, but last weekend when the site was down, my tablet worked for PM's and for correctly typing in the post box. 

    Lets hope the site breaks down again, it was marvelous for me!!!

    I have sent you a PM with my address so thank you very much for the offer of the geranium roots.

    Have replied after much faffing! Sorry Lyn image



    I think this is just what i need, i can dig up the plants sytematically, split them, take stock of what i have and re design, will also be a good chance to dig some muck in without trying to contort myself around plants! image
  • Hi all, I am new here, and would be interested in any seeds for growing vegetables, herbs and anything that I can eat! image

    I have had a thought for the wish list, I would like Geum root, not the orange, i have that, but yellow or red would be lovely.

    I have achillia in red or yellow. I can pot up and root. they are bee and butterfly magnets.

    Have split the blue geranium Lyn, will tackle the lilac one tomorrow! Got about 15 plants out of just one! Made a nursery bed, so i will be able to see where everything is, im sure my mom had a red geum she was bored of, will see if she still has it image

    First things first " kitchen gardener" is too long! What would you like us to call you? KG? image

    On the previous page there are a couple of lists of seeds which are available now, the seed swap proper will happen later in the year image

    I wouldnt mind a cutting or seeds of a cedrus deodara, but i think that might be a bit weird and wonderful! image

    Lucky i have my birthday in october, just right for bare root trees! image

    You might not be once I start asking questionsimage

    I'd like to take part in this but not really sure what I have to offer i.e seeds, cuttings, bits of root...but I do have a lot of plants so I hope if anyone sees anything they like when I occasionally put pics on they can teach me something at the same timeimage
