Welcome to the forum Gavin!

I've moved this into Swap Shop - you might like to give members an idea of what you're offering in return.

being brand new to the forum and lottie scene and not started to prepare my plot yet I dont really have a lot to offer... maybe some marows, onions or spuds... thats what I've got growing on my roof and a couple of small gardenshares!! oh I forgot... loads of mares tail if anyone wants...  ;D

Well, the usual form is to make your request and offer seeds/cuttings/tubers in return.  People are always interested in getting their hands on something a bit unusual or different, like e.g. your special squash.  Failing that, an offer to send an SAE will always be appreciated.

Ok - in reply to the above I can swop some of our "Gem Squash" seeds for comfrey.. Probably can spare 20 or so maybe a bit more.. These squash re real little gems ... sort of similar to a round Zuccini - absolutely delicious. Cut in half and boiled for 10 minutes.. bit of butter, salt & pepper mixed in to it.. If you Google "gem squash" or "rolet squash"  you will find them.
