I have a had a couple of folks asking about our annual seed swap. We normally do this just after christmas, so i was wondering what you all think about it. Would you all like to do the swap this month or wait till January? Us mods don't mind either way. Also, there are always spare seed left that are sent back to me after the swap. This time i suggested to Cherry and steve that we give them to a charity shop like cancer research. Again let me know your thoughts on the thread and we'll decide everything from there. So get your thinking caps on Garden friends

Perhaps now might be a good idea, before folk start putting their seed orders in? Giving the surplus seed to a charity shop is a good idea too......

Ok, what does anyone else think then??
I thought a charity shop was a good idea Lou, I bet the seeds would sell well.

The charity shop idea is a good one Rosie and I'll join in whenever you do the swap

So does anyone else have any opinions about when to do the swap?

I don't usually join in but will probably have some packs to send as part of the 'start up' parcel as I haven't sown that many this year, will have a look through my 'stash' to see if there's anything still in date which others might want!

Looking at jamie oliver starting up fifteen in australia, now visiting poor kids growing veggies and cooking with his trainees. Thinking about it if there is something like that in the UK, he did so many good things i think to make people eat healthy and understand the importance of fresh food. He is my favorite cook, and i think his passion is worth to be helped out if we could. But i dont know about such an organisations in the UK, but worth thinking about and if someone has an idea.... Please let us know...

I don't know about other centres Edwin, but Homestart at Terrington St Clement in Norfolk has cooking classes for young mothers and people who need this. They have a food garden too. I am not a big fan of Jamie Oliver. One of my favourite chefs is running a series on television now - Gino D'Acampo.

Sounds good, could be a good place to donate remaining seeds, but its not only up to me.

Jamie Oliver has plenty of money to fund his "fifteen" kitchens. I think our surplus seeds would find a better home at a charity shop, as Rosie has suggested.
