Swaps 2012

Hi,
At the time of posting (23/04/2012) these seeds are available  for swaps this year. Once gone they will be gone.   All were grown organically and home saved.  Most were open pollinated but remain quite true. "Named varieties" given are only as a guide to colour and habit.   They are generally packeted in either1 or 1/2  tsp quantities depending on how much i had.

I collect, dry and sort these essentially for my own use and the love of it as well as for the spirit of the swap.  I.E. I can't afford to post for free but will gladly swap for...

A) Anything from my "interests" lists, below
B) "Try me" (offers based on what you see here or on the blog)
C) "Pot luck", providing you cant see it here or on the blog.
D) A plain old SAE (will advise on value depending on quantities)
