I was trying to explain this seed swap thing to a bemused/amused friend the other day. She's not a gardener so doesn't get it
Same as what everyone else says about the postage Amy - I've been given lots of nice plants in the past and seeds, plants and advice from the forum. In my case I often have to learn what to do before I can give away plants and seeds though - magazine seeds are easy!
I have all those Amy that you mentioned on the previous page and now I have Tagettes and different sorts of nasturtium, but they wont be ready for a while for Spring sowing.
Bare in mind that if you sow 50 packets of seeds you need somewhere to put them when you have pricked out and potted on.
I am in the middle of doing just that, I have just kept about 50 of each variety but thats a lot of greenhouse space when they are all done.
Like others have said, post free.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Fishy, i think you had the last of them, did I send them to you in the original envelope. I could send you plants when they are big enough to travel, they have germinated already.

Yes, perhaps I have gotten a little too over excited and may not sow all of them this year!
I've got a big back and front garden so plenty of scope for when they are planted out but yes...I may need more greenhouse space for growing on though!....now, how can I persuade my husband?!
Ok, I give up, ive just read back over more than 20 pages, i cant find who wanted globe artichoke, really sorry, im sure ive written it down somewhere!
