This past Saturday I went to Oxford Botanical Gardens to meet some other vegetable-growing bloggers for a talk, picnic (the weather gods smiled) and seed swap. I returned with three new garlics to try from Patrick (Purple Glazier, German Porcelain, Krasnador Red) and Pea Magnum Bonum and Climbing Bean Purple Giant from Rebsie and a catalogue from passionate seed saver Ben at Real Seeds. A lot of my own self-saved seed returned with me as well. If there is anybody out there (?) wanting any 'Blue Hubbard' squash, 'Winterkeeper' beetroot, 'True Red Cranberry' pole bean or 'Bird's Nest' gourd seed just give me your address and I will happily post them.

It was lovely to meet you and your partner at the weekend ... hope we can do it again next year. I'm marvelling at the beauty and deep colour of your True Red Cranberry beans ... can't wait to try those!
Hi! sorry we didn't speak on saturday! and thanks for popping by...love the carrots - look so much larger and better than mine - they all ended up as 'salad carrots'....gardening terms for 'small'! ha ha! If you have any seed, I would kindly have some, and take care of them for swapping next year! I didn't really take anything, as I had nothing to sawp, so felt rude taking without giving anything back! Shall I email you my addy? thanks Cat x
Yes, I'll send you an assortment as I've lots.
I'd love to try your Blue Hubbard. I've got plenty of seeds to swap I posted a list of seeds to offer so do let me know if there is anything you'd like to swap.
and the True Red Cranberry beans had a search about and they sound very interesting.
Hello Laura
I'm assuming that you are Laura @ Mas du Diable, so I'll email you and you can then email me with your address...
Hi,
If you have any spare seeds left, I would love to try them out here in Colorado. Im brand new to gardening and seed saving, so unfortunately I dont have anything to offer right now for trades. However Id be glad to keep in touch and send seeds over to you as they become available over the years! Id love to try out any or all of the seeds you have available, so send me an email and let me know!
Thanks!
Emily
Hello Emily
I'd be glad to send them. You'll have to give me your email or address as I can't access any information by clicking on your link.
Hi,
Would be great to try your 'True Red Cranberry' beans and your 'Winterkeeper' Beetroot.
If you have any please contact me: james[dot]jenkins[at]mac[dot]com
Cheers,
James
