    just seen the seed swap idea, would it help if we put out notes on what we are all looking for -?  

    Maybe someone has already done this . I have have only looked over first couple of pages, though I see there are loads.!  Its a brilliant idea!

    cotty, a tab bit off topic but how did you get the paint to stay on your fabulous shed. I painted a couple of sheds last year, used an undercoat first, then painted them sage.

    The sheds had been treated the year before, with the same stuff I use for the fences and the paint is flaking off.

    I would really like some geum seeds if anybody has any spare.I think I've got a Mrs bradshaw plant.

    Having watched gardeners world on Friday and seen that they can flower for 25 weeks who wouldn't want them!? The one that they showed was Rubin.Would anyone like a swap?
