There is an abundance of seeds about now, and it seems a pity not to swap and share.

Every time we prepare a squash in the kitchen, we wonder why we have to waste all those seeds.

They make great snacks baked in oil & sprinkled with salt, but it still seems a shame not to actually ‘grow’ them again, when they came from such good stock. Hybrid varieties will not breed true, but the old fashioned, heritage varieties will produce an offspring like themselves.

Seedy People is a website for swapping unwanted seeds.  The seed swap site had a very successful first year & they say:

For the price of a stamp we can make use of all those millions of seeds that go to waste and also save ourselves money in the process !”

Seedy People is a great way to swap and share vegetable seeds.
