Veg & Flower Seeds

[potterfanpete]

Hi, it's me again! I am now on a mission to get some seeds of the following;

Aubergine - 'Diamond'
Aubergine - 'Listada de Gandia'
Aubergine - 'Pingtung Long'
Aubergine - 'Rosita'
Cobaea - White or Purple form
Any unusual/different/interesting squash, gourd, pumpkin seeds (ornamental or edible - winter or summer - anything from the family really!)

I don't have anything to swap as I'm only 13, and this is my first main year gardening. I might be able to send a stamped addressed envelope/bubble if needed. Thanks - PM me if you've got anything!

Pete - can i just say for a 13 yo you have excellent grammar and spelling, not to mention typing!

Hows the Rhubarb going? I've still not potted mine yet

Hi Pete! I've sent you Aubergine - 'Listada de Gandia' it's on it's way to you  :)

Hello there

Pete : I know its not on your list, but I can let you have some Black Beauty Aubergine seeds if you want to give them a try?  Let me know.

Biscombe : I read somewhere that you were battling to germinate your Aubergine seeds.  I have also had a problem with low germination rates.  I know that you are in Spain and I'm in Uk - wonder what the problem is.   I only managed to get one Diamond and 2 Dengra ? and 2 Black Beauty to germinate.  I think I will try and do another sowing this week-end.  Also none of those lovely chillis you sent me have germinated and I was so excited about my Lemon Drop chilli :'( :'(

Sorry to hijack this posting.

Hi all, thanks for the speedy replies! I have PM'ed some of you back. Jeannine - I hope it will, but I really don't have alot to cover the space with at the moment! Some of the veg will be going in the veg plot though, which is more accessible from the kitchen :) Thanks all!

Pete,

Where are you going to grow these aubies?

[potterfanpete]

In home garden - I haven't got an allotment yet, but my dad has left a message on the phone of the guy that owns the allotments down the road. Why? Thanks Steveuk - can't wait to get them!

Hi Pete,

I think people are just interested, it's good when young people show an interest, you are the future!

If you email some pics,

admin@allotments4all.co.uk

of where you are growing the bits and bobs, I'll happily put them up for you, it would be nice for people to see the seeds they have sent you germinating!

Cheers

Dan

[potterfanpete]

Thanks Dan, I'd really appreciate that. Would you put them in my posts or in the gallery?

Hi Pete!

Whereabouts are you? May help us to send things that will do well in your locality. Is the clue in your name?!

;)

[potterfanpete]

Sos - I'm a bit dense today  ??? could you rephrase that question - I live in the midlands (nr birmingham) i just dont get the may help us to send things that will do well in your locality. thanks anyway, talk soon, pete!

[Robert_Brenchley]

Whereabouts in the West Midlands? I'm in central Birmingham.

[potterfanpete]

um...redditch, in worcester, so anyway, back on topic, anyone got any of the seeds i requested?

[rosebud]

You actually sound like another person who was on this site about the same time last year :-\.

[Hyacinth]

Hi Pete, I frequently come to shop in Redditch - nice shops, you should try the Pound Shop there, Aldi and Lidls too...great seeds at pocket money prices 8)

In Redditch you're definitely going to need to grow those aubies in a greenhouse. Do you have space - what size 'house do you have? How will you grow them - grow bags, ring culture? I presume your parents will stake you the price of everything you're going to need to buy? And why aubies? Does your mum have some favourite recipes you can share with us?

Look forward to seeing your pictures.
