How's everyone doing? I think I've successfully bagged and pollinated a muscat de provence and a queensland blue squash (runs round in triumphant circles, punching air!), and will be trying for a thelma sanders if a female flower ever appears.

kent blues weren't as prolific as I'd hoped, but should just about have enough to send in.

I have rainbow Swiss chard plants with seed and some fat baby achocha. Will also save some toms...

I would have loved to have joined this little group. But I don't think I'll have anything worth to offer up.
I'm only growing two different kinds of tomatoes, some chillies, Peppers & Melon (which I haven't see any sign off any growing) Nothing exciting in my Greenhouse
Maybe next year!

[Martin H]

Then join the VSP instead, Nathalie!

The carrots have been blooming happily. I've been ill for weeks now, though, so I may have missed the chance to collect scorzonera seed and may have to collect something else.

Hope you are feeling better Plantologist!
Any other grapes in the seed circle have any updates on their seed saving so far?

[sparrow100]

Erk. Soz, mangetout seeds all have little holes. Seems the moth didn't miss them. Will have to see whether I can save a few things that I know will come true.And that other people aren't already growing for this.

Better luck next year.

Loads of people suggest stuff then change their minds Sparrow. If you can gather enough let us know, even if it a tomato, I always love to try a new one...

[sparrow100]

Will see if I can bag some of the padron pepper flowers. I've got a potted plant so I can bring it in when the weather gets cooler and give the fruits a chance to ripen fully on the windowsill.

I've only been saving one each of my squashes, so I'm not sure there will be enough seed to put in here. Can't wait to harvest & eat them though! My toms are mostly split or F1s, but will have a look to see what I can find there.

[veggiechicken]

I have Bijou mangetout - maybe Goldensweet mangetout also - depends on how many of us are in the Seed circle.
Hoping for some other seeds too but no names yet

If your peppers have crossed, I've got aji lemon drops grown in isolation. The plant's dripping with chillies and is up on my balcony. Do you want seeds for the circle?

[Zelenina]

Hi planetologist. Is it still possible to join the seed circle? I'm quite new here, but have already done more than 50 posts, and will have passed my first month before the deadline.

I'm trying to save a lot of different varieties, but mostly only in small quantities this year. And the unusually wet weather has been a problem. But I think I'll have enough of a couple of things for everyone in the circle. Probably Long Green Buddha peppers and Buerre de Rocquencourt dwarf beans. Maybe some others too.
