    Hi Darren,

    If you don’t have any seeds to swap can you still go and buy seeds from people?? Donna

    I assume that’s OK, Donna. I don’t have anything to swap at the moment either. From what I’ve read elsewhere, Seedsavers groups do sell seed to raise money for their operating costs.

    I’m sure they’ll be happy to see some new faces!
