Default www.vegswap.co.uk -Swap your surplus homegrown fruit and veg

Hi, we have just started up a website to enable gardeners to swap seeds, home grown fruit and veg, plants, jams and juices. I'm a rather inexperienced but very enthusiastic gardener and have found myself with more rhubarb than I can face eating but have had loads of other crops decimated by slugs, bugs or birds. So I thought we could try swapping! For the time being this is a non profit making site so I hope no one minds me mentioning it here. Please let me know what you think.

Hi,

We seem to have had the same idea, I have just launched harvest from home with similar aims to yours. We all end up growing too much as the number of roadside vendors will testify.

Hope it all works out for you

I love the idea! If I manage to get a crop I'll definitely log on

Hia Roo_Lane, I'm in Walkergate :waves: Like you, I'm hoping for a crop of something! My first year at all this and so far the only thing that we've eaten is the lettuce . . . But there is a truss on the tomatoes now, and some flowers on the courgettes so fingers crossed.

Ali.

Growington is also doing something similar! It's a big map and you can see where people are going food near you. It makes it easy to swap!
