Welcome back to Reads Allotment Retreat. There's not much to report from the plot at the moment, as due to the recent bad weather and my recent illness (now - fully recovered- thanks for all your good wishes) I have not set foot on the plot in a couple of weeks.We have not been idle though, and recently we arranged a seed swap with a fellow blogger in Canada! Dan at "Urban Veggie Garden Blog" posted an update recently about "Vermont Cranberry Beans", and they sounded delicious. After making contact we were delighted when Dan agreed to send some seed in exchange for some of our seeds. We were delighted to receive these this morning, and were surprised also by some "extra" seeds which we had not expected: "Cherokee Purple Tomato". We are always keen to try new varieties, and are now eagerly awaiting the spring so we can get planting. The weather in that area of Canada seems similair to ours, and we hope the seed swap proves fruitful.
If any other readers would like to exchange some seeds, then please get in touch! We would love to try more varieties from around the world. In a recent posting, we listed the varieties / quantities we have in stock, so you can clearly see what we can afford to swap.
Thats all for now, but we hope you can pop back soon for more updates from the plot.
Take care all and enjoy your gardening / growing.
TTFN
