    That seems to work asilvert. Things don't always do as i expect in the computing world. All the pics I've posted before have been mine, this came from google images, perhaps I'm not allowed to use them. 

    Sounds like a good party elf centre

    i'm happy to save seed next year for swaps but didn't collect a lot this year. Mostly just let things seed and I'll move the seedlings around when they appear.

    asilvert. I picked up a copy of Roger Phillips' 'Wild Flowers of Britain' from the charity shop today. It beats anything else I have for identification purposes. 

    Thank Nutcutlet, thats one for my christmas list image

  • Hello

    I would seed swap with people only thing is the other person having seeds that you want as well as you having seeds that they want.

    I have nasturtiums seeds (climbing) orange, red and possible yellow mixed, pony tail grass seeds and honesty seeds all collected from my garden.

    If anybody wants to swap?

    what seeds do you have to swap? 

    It would be nice to swap some seeds for other flower seeds

    Hi all

    I have tonnes of seeds including

    Aquilegia - not sure which varities but one deep purpple and light pinks (also a dwarf blue)

    Poppies - Gallore red paper, purple and oriental 

    Cornflower - heavenly blue

    Snapdragon - yellow and white

    Echinops

    Candytuft

    Loosetrife - purple variety (I also have mounds of yellow which I'd be only too happy to re-home!)

    Foxgloves

    They're the ones I remember but I'm going to have some fun this afternoon now looking through my seed container to see what else I harvested image

    What a lovely day its been..

    Oh and I also have raddish - scarlet globe, spring onion, rocket, cucumber and sweet pepper (although I failed miserably with those this year).

  • Hello asilvert

    I am interested in the Snapdragon - yellow and white.  Well they are all nice seeds but only fair to swap one for another one.

    Are you interested in any of my seeds posted above.

    Hi Gardengirl

    Oh yes please, I'd love some honesty seeds the pods are lovely.

    I was also reading your tyre thread and have mounds of campanula both purple and white, not sure what strain exactly but if you can send rooted plants your more than welcome to some. 

  • Hello asilvert

    I think campanula are pretty, yes I would like some of those plants.

    I think you can send rooted plants in the post, I have sent some before in the post -just wrap up the roots in something like a carrier bag.

    I will message you my address and you message me your address so I can send you some honesty seeds to you.

    Many Thanks

  • Hello asilvert

    I have left you a message with my details

    I think honesy is a pretty plant- does look good when flowers (purple flowers) and when it is seed pods as well.

    Have you tried the honesty that has white flowers and variegated leaves? just as easy and really brightens up a shady patch.



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • No can't say I have tried that honesty not seen it before

    Just looked it up on google images what a pretty looking plant looks really different to normal honesty with the variegated leave, they had it in purple as well on one picture.

    Will have to try it
