2010 Alternative Kitchen Garden Seed Swap

Related Posts with Thumbnails


Sorrel seeds

It’s Seed Swapping time again! This year I am only offering home-saved seeds from my garden here in Oxfordshire, UK. If there is more information available on the seeds elsewhere on this site I will link to it; if you want to ask a question then you can email me. I only normally send seeds to UK or European addresses. If you’re elsewhere in the world and would like to discuss the possibility of a swap then email me.

What would I like in return? Probably nothing (which makes this more of a free seeds giveaway than a swap!) because my seed box is bigger than my garden – but regular visitors to the site will know that I have a soft spot for unusual edible and otherwise useful plants, so if you think you have something that will catch my eye than let me know.

To claim a packet of seeds, email me with your name and mailing address. First come, first served. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

I am part of the Blogger Seed Network, a worldwide list of independent bloggers interested in the free trading of seeds.

The Seeds

Dwarf marigolds, which I use as a companion plant for peppers and tomatoes, and which are good for wildlife.

Good King Henry

Achocha – a climbing, fruiting vegetable that’s one of the Lost Crops of the Incas (seeds saved in 2008, not 2009).

Welsh onions, a perennial clumping onion with flowers bees love.

Sorrel

Calendula, the pot margiold. An edible flower that’s also a good companion and a wildlife favourite.

Flat-leaved parsley

‘Lilac’ peppers

French bean ‘Aiguillon’

Goji berries

White alpine strawberries, originally grown from seed supplied by Patrick from Bifurcated Carrots last year.

Oca, scarlet or white

And I have one packet of melon seeds saved from a friend’s melon last autumn. He wasn’t sure which variety it was, but it was productive in his greenhouse (in a poor summer) and he thought it was very tasty (I’m not a good judge of melons!). Oh, and the flesh was orange :)
