Some gardening websites feature 'seed swap' days, but what we really need is a way for people to share their seeds whenever they like, and to buy in larger quantities as part of a local co-operative.
Please fill in this form and explain what you have to offer:
To start with I shall simply collect this feedback, and look at providing a seed share service if the demand is there. If you provide you email address, I shall only use it to inform you as things develop, and will certainly not divulge it to third parties without your prior permission.
If you are under 16, you need to visit the CBeebies Green Balloon Club
The seeds are Tomato, Carrot, Beetroot, Lettuce and Squash.

Update: May 4th The seeds arrived on May 1st, all five sets of them (one per child, plus one for the household). We have planted some of the carrots, beetroot, tomato and lettuce so far. Still need to get the Butternut Squash in the ground though.
The good thing is that the seeds will be the varieties that market gardeners were most happy with the previous year, so you should be able to get the best performing seeds without too much research.
