West Coast seeds

I'm not sure GW will allow discussions of seed swapping and trading...

Once upon a time, when Spike still ran GW, I innocently asked if anyone knew where I might disposed of quantities of surplus Narcissus bulbs.

Up popped Spike and threatened to send me to Disney if I didn't desist.

I'm not sure if they who live over the equator have any idea that NZ is a long way from Oz and there are phytosanitary considerations to international trading... so we can't really use the Aus trading post unless we make it clear it's a local-only deal. (For me, it's not a place I'd automatically look. Perhaps I'd better stop being lazy!)

However, I'm sure we could profitably talk about the mechanics of producing seeds for trade etc without transgressing the groundrules. And if emails were the next step - one of those fraught with ads courtesy of Hotmail or similar might be the answer.

After all, we're Kiwis and come with a surplus of ingenuity for getting round obstacles! Haul out the old #8 gauge and we'll see what can be done.

Oh, silly me. Fancy not noticing the exchanges link. At least no one pointed out my oops. Thanks, all.
