I've just found a cache I'd forgotten collecting. Bound to be some left over. I always collect too many and often sow too many as well. Too close and get leggy. I'll learn one day, I've only been doing it 40 years
My honest seeds started from a seed swap at Whitchurch potato festival last year in january- normally the last weekend of the month.
So from seeds swap to my garden to grow and then collect seeds. Then off to seed swap which is a good way to keep growing plants for youself and to pass on to others.
Thanks to seed swap if not I might not of grown honesty seeds.
I like to have new plants, new to me that is, not latest fashion. I look through seed catalogues like Chiltern and Plant World, and order something I've never heard of. The internet has made that so much easier. I can check if it's tender or wouldn't like my soil.
Flad to hear your better Sam. Great I have loads of those if you want any others let me know and if you PM your address I will send them off for you.
gardengirl did you get your parcel yet and thank you so much, you put a lovely detail on the packet
Nutcutlet I googled those plants and they're really unusual and beautiful and you could use the seed pods in xmas decorations, could I have some please? (Oh and you were right about checking the frost pockets-have to rethink the strawberry tree's site I think).

Am happy to give away spare seeds if anyone wants them:
Laitris - purple but they take a few years to flower
Allium - Purple globemaster - again they take a few years to flower
Lupin - white and purple perennials - should flower late next year
Eryngium - tall silver thistle like with purple flowers
Echinacea - purple, these seed well and flower in one year
Blue Festuca grass - not tried to grow from seed but they should grow true.
Hello blairs
what sort of seeds do you want to swap for?
Hi Sam
Just to let you know I have posted your seeds
None - am happy just to share (they would just be wasted otherwise TBH)
I am interested in these flowers (the Laitris) I Googled them and they look good/ pretty.
So I will message you my address
Thanks but if you change you mind and want some seeds I could send you some honesty or pony tail grass.
