trading seeds ( im thrilled that it works! )

[Gevalia]

my contact just received the seeds that i sent her, and im thrilled to know that trading seeds between europe and the Philippines works! all i have to do now is wait for the seeds she sent me ( which i will have anytime this week)...


i still have lots of seeds to offer, just in case you re interested.

Radish:F1Mingho and white icicle ( both are large varieties and white),
long purple eggplant, red rapid lettuce, bitter melons, annual flowers including
zinnia, marigold, dahlia, cosmos, pertulaca and calendula. i can also send you cucumbers.

all i want is zucchini ( any bushing variety) or large and small varieties of egg plant ( which i seldomly see in my country).


thank you

[Gevalia]

Hello everyone!


i still have many seeds and i cant possibly use all of them as i only garden in containers and i have very limited space....would any1 want to have any of the following seeds?

1. radish- Mingho (f1), Nagcarlan, and white Icicle.
2. Eggplant- Long purple eggplant
3. portulaca flowers
4. Bitter melon ( karela or bitter gourd) long and short varieties
5. cucumbers


if you would like to receive any seed that i dont have yet you may ask me to serach for them for you ( if they are only available in asia). im in need of the ff seeds:

1. zucchini ( any as long as they are the bushing variety) . i prefer the all green bush though
2. any variety of eggplant that is not common ( like the stripes or those that are large and are cute) or maybe common to your locale but not in mine


thank you friends!

What kind of cucumbers is that?

I only have spinach seeds saved last year to offer. Let me know if you want some.

i am looking for some Romanescu cauli plants, where would be best to get this funny looking cauliflower?

the kids will only eat this cauli so i need to grow some on the allotment.

thanks.

I only have peas, mustard cress and regular cress that I would be happy to give people!

Is it too late to start with a cucumber again for this year? I don't have a green house but do have a conservatory that gets pretty darn warm!

Is this the "official" seed swap shop now or should it just be for the Intercontinetal seed sharing? Should we start a new one perhaps?

Hello Newtothis,


Id be more than happy to send you bitter melon seeds:0 im actually glad that somebody finally got interested about them. they are pretty interesting plants. they have so much nutrients ( edible leaves too) and they are attractive too. the flowers smell so good.


any particular variety you might want to have?
pls pm me your address

Hello,

I have the crispy salad cucumber, but this variety is F1 so im afraid you may not be able to save seeds for future planting...but if still interested id be glad to send you some.


im not sure if spinach will grow well in my country but if i was able to grow lettuce, zucchini, and radish ( which most people thought dont grow in tropical region)then im up for a new challenge! pls pm me your address. if you really want something that is not F1 i can also find you some.
pls pm me your shipping address

Gevalia.

hello,


this is not the official seed swap page but i think it would be better to have a common page so we only check one page if we want to swap seeds.....if we need to create a new one, im not very sure



what is mustard cress?will it grow in a hot and humid country?

It would be really cool if I could actually grow them here. I didn't know there was more than one variety, what are the differences? I think you will have to give me some pointers too. How are your courgettes doing by the way?

I will pm you with my address.

theres a lot of bitter melons varieties, but they are generally divided into long and short category


the shorter ones tend to be round.


got your mgs

Mustard cress is like regular cress but tates more mustardy I guess, never tried it. It's very easy to grow, something a child may do at school or something, often indoors in a saucer or tray with cotton wool instead of soil.

Hi "ALL",
I have the following seeds up for grabs,, All chillies i'm afraid
Scotch Bonnets, Naga morich, Ring of Fire, Prairie Fire, plus a couple of Thai varieties.
There are probably a max of 10 of each variety to be sent to whoever would like them.
I do not require anything in return They are "Freebies"
cheers stupo.

Oh I have never seen a round one! Does that plant take up less space?

i think so. they arent really round, its kind of oval shaped, and are smaller. perfect for smaller garden space...i dont mind sending you both varieties if you find it hard to choose between the 2 ( the courgettes your sending are like gold for me so pls let me send you more seeds)

No it's okay don't worry, one type is probably much more than I can handle as it is You decide I don't mind, it's only an experiment....might need to invest in a greenhouse though next year.
