    Hi all, 

    Does anyone have any spare delphinium seeds available? 

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi All,

    one of my bamboos unfortunately flowered this year and now I have hundreds of bamboo seeds. The husband has even managed to get some to germinate in a pot. The bamboo is a phyllostachys variety and in the 13 years it has been in the ground has not gone mad, though it also does well in a big pot. If anyone wants seeds please PM me.

    I will be sorting seed and will put a list up when ready. I will hopefully have Knautia and white Scabious available.

  • Hi all, hope you are all ok.. I'm new here and iv just taken gardening back up after 2 years of being ill with heart problems, but now iv had my open heart surgery last year I now really great.... So if just brought a green house and I'm all set up now, and I was looking for some seeds of any kind to grow and plant in my garden, does anyone have any seeds spare of any kind?. Thanks all n hope to hear back from you soon ☺

    I have squillions of bronze fennel seeds, they make a tasty micro-salad if you sow them thickly in a shallow tray of compost on a sunny windowsill. 

    I will shortly be gathering seed from my marigolds Calendula officinalis and my blowsy pink double poppies which you can see on the jamjar flowers thread.  Ditto Welsh poppies, perennial with mostly yellow flowers and the occasional orange one.

    I can save Delphiniums, no where near ripe yet though, also Francoa, pretty tall pink ones.

    can also save different types of Salvia, white Foxgloves and bringing on some Summer King.  Hopefully won't be cross pollinated but can't guarantee.(Foxgloves that is,  it Salvia?) 

    Will post again when ready.

    I have some field beans to spare for green manure.  I don't think they're edible.

    I have a pack of Rudbeckia Goldsturm seeds, sow by June 2018. They are freebies from a magazine. It says 100 seeds so can split if required. Plse PM if you would like them.

    I have some nigella, digitalis, triteleia laxa, purple alliums.  The digitalis has creamy coloured buds which open to light mauve.  Oh and single red poppies.
