You might have to PM the others Vicky.

I'm just packing all mine up at the moment...

You're welcome Scarlet...not sure if there are too many seeds saved after the dismal summer for growing...

Prehaps those with their names on the list could let me know what they have saved to swop?

Thanks Vicky - My mexican tree spinach and fat baby achocha are all packed up and ready. I can send off as soon as I've got an address.

Vicky I have my seeds here ready to pack when I know how many little packets are wanted!

[Jeanied]

Just an amendment to my post above - I have just checked over my Virginia 3 courgette seeds and they seem to be mostly empty. Not happy with that but I have another batch drying so there should be enough for everyone but it is going to take a little while longer.

Sadly my red hmong cucumber only contained immature seeds, so no go there. I did bring back a prickly pear seed capsule from Spain (OH braved the spines to get it for me from a roadside plant), inside there were 28 seeds. If this would count as an exotic, I can do 2 seeds each probably. The pads and the fruits are edible, but goodness knows how long it would take to get big enough to eat, and obviously frost tender too.

There's 8 of us left in the circle so that's 7 packets of each seed to be sent to me.
I'll send each of you a pm with my address
I'll send the seeds back in january - to avoid the christmas post
