home grown trading - seedlings, plants etc

[pecks]

Hi,

anyone up for some trading of home grown produce. We have various excess seedlings which we would be happy to trade for other seedlings, plants (we have started from scratch garden 1 year old) etc. In a couple of months will have some chickens so there will be some eggs as well. Any advice on keeping chickens much appreciated.

excess seedlings that we have are:

poppy,

beetroot

climbing french beans

wild rocket

brocoli

carrot

Sorry I thought this was going to be about something different altogether

There is a thread on chickens if you place it in the search function.

PS: Chav - yours must have started laying by now - what's the news?

I grow my own salad stuff from scratch; people who know me well find this incredulous (apparently it doesn't fit my image; but I'm pretty obsessive with having a healthy diet.

Are we talking Wheatgrass and Bean Sprouts or San Marzano Plum Tomatoes and Radicchio di Chioggia?

Salad greens, herbs and tomatoes. I live mostly on fruit and veg so want whatever I eat to be as fresh as possible. I uproot a lettuce, wash it and oil it and I call it supper. I don't have a very big appetite (puting it mildly) so whatever I do eat needs to be good food. I user the term "good food" to mean "doesn't contain a chemical sh*t storm" rather than "deserves a Michelin award".

I was curious since a close relative of mine is into raw food as a result of making a 3 week visit to the Hippocrates Health Institute and wondered whether that was a common interest amongst people here.

I love the description, I must slide it into a conversation some time.
