I'm up for that George, at the bandstand, not my garden. I've grown some carrots, peppers and tomatoes from seed, but didn't label them and now don't know which is which, but someone else might. Happy to bring along to veg swap event. Good luck with babe too x

I've just been potting up some broccoli, brussel sprouts and raspberries, and I know that I'm going to have more than I can use... Since I'm about the fifth person to come to this conclusion this week - why don't we have a seed/seedling/veg plant swap event - I'd love to swap some broccoli for some peas or beans etc... Would anyone fancy hosting such an event? I would offer but we have a baby due any day so I might have to withdraw at the last minute... We could hold it in someone's garden.. or perhaps we could suggest a picnic in the park by the bandstand one saturday - and people could just turn up with their surplus and hopefully take away something too??? How about it? George

I have various seeds that people can have (peas, carrots, beans, toms etc) - I have had them for a few years now, so they really should get used this year. I have used them successfully, but have small garden and know I won't use them all. let me know if you want some! I can leave out for collection or drop off! would like them to be used in communal/shared projects if possible.

Also, I forgot to mention that I have some glass sheets from old sash windows, which would do for cold frames (or old sash windows). Again, free to whomsoever collects.

I can offer free plastic flower pots, seed trays etc. (I hope this is the right place to put this offer text).

This is a very nicely produced kit for kids to grow seeds, though not particularly cheap http://www.secretseedsociety.com/

This is a public debate being held at the British Library on 9th March. Should be interesting - particularly for anyone who has recently seen "Food Inc" and is concerned about similar developments happening in the UK.

Hope you saw the email I sent to the Lexi asking for any promotional materials... also did you see the article about the film and Joel Salatin in yesterday's Observer? http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jan/31/food-industry-en...
