Seed Circle 9 - the All in Circle 2012

[zazen999]

I'd go with that Chris - we might get some late comers and some drop outs as this one is pretty flexible. If I have to split a bag or two and share it around it's not the end of the world...if there's any extra then people may get two or VC might get a few extra for the VSP.

Righto, thanks

[zazen999]

I've PM-ed everyone - but from looking it seems some people haven't been involved with the Vine or been online in ages so if you only have 12 packs to send in rather than 15 I doubt it will make much difference.

Closing date - 15th Jan. Those I have had by that date will be packed up, the extras shared out and the whole lot sent out. A bit of minor joy during January.

Mine are packed up - will send early next week.

Swiss chard & cape gooseberries also mexican tree spinach and fat baby achocha (the last two I'm also sending off to the exotic circle so if you're also in that seed saving group - sorry you'll get them twice!)

[veggiechicken]

I'll be sending Bronze fennel and something else -but what I haven't decided!!

[zazen999]

I've put in Scorzonera, Dobbie's Purple Beetroot, Parsnip, Early Tanana Tomato, Maskotka Tomato so far...I might add another one or two between now and January.

I have baged up cceleriac and principle borghese toms. I also have lots of purple orach mountain spinach and broad leaved sorrel, however I included this last year so some of you may already be overflowing with it?

Shall I put it in too? I have loads, and will send some to VSP as well, so let me know and then Im good to go.

I need to go through and see what I've got enough of, think there's some lemon drop chillies for def .......will report back .

[zazen999]

You may as well Donna - not sure who was in what group/s last year so if you have spares...

[veggiechicken]

I wasn't in any groups last year - I'm a late starter

[Matt94]

I wasn't in any groups last year

You're not the only one

Closing date - 15th Jan.

In that case I might wait until the new year, to let the shark fin seeds ripen some more inside the "melons". Does anyone know how long it actually helps to leave cucurbites in storage to ripen seeds after taking the fruits off the plant?

Roughly 2 weeks

Thanks Matt, in that case I'll try to send in my seeds before Christmas.

Ok - mine are in the post. I also had enough manzano red chillies to go around so they went as well.
