... I have found next year seed trial ... Razz

I have been in contact with Peter who gives away free potimarron (small pumpkin that tastes like chestnut!) seeds if you then agree to give away a percentage of your crop to a local homeless/needy shelter and that you save and pass on the seeds to others. What a great idea!!

yup

I need mine to crop for this time next year......Sophie's school deliver their harvest festival goodies to elderly on our estate and any leftovers are taken by a teacher who volunteers at a homeless 'soup kitchen' in central London at weekends.

(assuming of course that I manage to grow any Embarassed

I even murdered my courgettes this year!)
