    So, what is the reason I have started this section up?

    I have been in the garden, and with things starting to go to seed (which a majority will be thrown away), thought it an ideal opportunity to exchange seeds with other users, ready for the next growing season.

    I have thought that the only cost involved for anyone will be an envelope and a second class stamp ( cheaper than a packet of seeds !).

    So if you are after a swap for your seeds that you have collected this year, post it here.

    Nathan.

    No its not a giant, anyway you can prune it after flowering. Takes a couple of years to flower from seed, but if you germinate it now and keep in a frost free greenhouse next winter it should grow away pretty fast next summer. As a bonus the flowers are almond scented.
