Just put my request form in to Garden Organic for next years heritage seeds got some interesting things coming.

Feels good to keep some of these old varieties going

Are you required to report on the seeds progress or dry and return some seed when grown?    I'd like to know more, it might be fun to grow the 'old stuff'.        Cheers,     Tony.

There are two different levels.

1. Pay £15 (I think) at you can choose up to 6 varieties.  You just grow these for yourself, you don't always get a huge number of seeds so personal seed saving might be good.  You do not have to report anything back.

2.  Become a seed guardian.  You will be sent seed and be asked to grow it to return the seeds (ie not for eating!).
