    Hi All
    I have just moved from a flat into a house with a huge garden that has just a lawn.
    I want to start gardening, I do not have anything to exchange but if anyone could spare a few seeds or plants I would be very grateful.

    Hi Penny
    To be honest I would like to try as many different types as possible.
    I have a huge garden that I will need to fill.
    Paul
    Thanks for the reply.

    Seeds in Wilko's are usually "as cheap as chips."

    Also, I don't know if you are any where near a "Gardners Club" garden centre, I've been in to a few on my recent travels and most of them are selling off old seed packs for 50p each. This is how I got all my seeds last year and didn't have any problems with germination.

    I've got loads of Lupin seeds from my single specimen in my garden - It is a pink one, but after reading up on them there's no telling what colour the seeds might come up as (most likely pink or blue). Pm me your address if your interested and I'll send you some. I've also got delphinium seeds from my garden, again I don’t know what colour they'll be (I've got various shades of blue in my garden)

    This has got me thinking now.....I've also got:
    Rose Campion - Pink
    ragged robin
    Sun flower
    and more I'm sure.....I collected loads of seed this year as I want to get some seedlings for charity sales next year (my greenhouse is full of rooted cuttings right now)
