Hi Dave,

I don t know either, I guess I just didn't get the email, I was looking forward for the swap though. Do you know what I can do now or is there nothing else to do but to wait for the next swap?

Hi Catherine,

I don't know how you missed out, but there was a newsletter posted out (snail mail) sometime and a Seed Swap on 28 April.

Hi everybody,

I don t really understand how it works here, so I decided to ask.

I  got an email in spring 2011 from SSE saying that a meeting for seed exchange would be organised in autumn 2012, but we are in winter and nothing happened since then. Did I miss it out?

Thanks moggy, I found them on the Egmont website, though it took some searching, since they were called flowering kale and were listed with the flowers. Kohlrabis are a good idea too, I've been growing them in my back yard in the standard veggie bed, but they are actually quite funky looking and most people won't even know what they are :-)

Egmont seeds have them on their website

hi hanna, no i haven't got seeds but i think they are known as an ornamental kale, you might have more luck searching with that name. I've usually seen the seedlings in garden centres. king seeds have a couple of edible colored kales.  kohlrabis are pretty cool looking too :)

Does anyone know where to get seeds for ornamental cabbages? Those somewhat funny looking pink/ purple/white things? I remember seeing them in the past, but they seem to have gone out of fashion. I'm looking for things that are both edible and ornamental for the front garden.

Richard, I was just going on what was writtien in Eric Toensmeier's "Perennial Vegetables". "A particular challenge with mashua is that most varieties are day-length sensitive and will not begin to form tubers until sunlight lasts about 12 hours." Since we're past mid-summer now the days have been that long for a while. I grow mine in the same place each year, so there are plenty of tubers from previous years in the patch.

has anyone grown the Rydal A bean before? I planted them thinking they were dwarf beans but they are starting to want to climb so I am wondering how tall they will grow....
