I think est sown fresh but people on this forum have talked about successful spring sowing. I sow my own seed fresh and bought seed around midwinter. I try to sow as nature does. When seeds are dropping I collect and sow.
I'm AGAIN listing the seeds I still have and have added some more now that the mags are giving free seeds again. If you don't have anything to swap but fancy anything please just ask- it is such a waste otherwise.

Thats what I did last year, and they all germinated, I will cut the losses and collect fresh this year.
Good idea. I'm hoping to collect from some really dark hellebores this year. and some little tight very dark aquilegias

The aquilegias I sowed were off a plant that my daughter call maroon, If it flowers this year, I will post a piccy.
Will the hellebores and aquilegias come true from collecting our own seeds.
They do tend to all mix up together and over time I weed out the dirty pinks.

Hello Lyn My fuchsia arrived and are nicely potted on into small pots thank you, they are sitting on my window sill indoors
Might not be doing much seed swapping at min but not sown much yet too cold
May be we should do a plant or cutting swap more?
Will have to take a photo when bit bigger Lyn to show all
Forum not sending me messages again even though tick on instant keeps doing that
May be we should do a photo seed swap of what seeds we have swapped growing?
As in take photos post on computer or updates of how seeds/plant/cuttings growing how well doing
