Important notice to seed swappers -
the growing season for Babington Leeks is September to June, and new bulbils mature in September/October. So I prefer/you'll prefer/they'd prefer if I send them in autumn and you plant them on receipt.
I did tell HSL to mention autumn requests, but it didn't happen.
I've currently got a lot of requests going out around Christmas, so I won't be able to cope with further requests anyway.
If you see this note, please hang fire, and I look forward to dealing with your request later in 2012.

About Me
- Vale Royal Environment Network
- I've been an environmentalist for as long as I can remember; I got into biology as a kid in Northwich, Cheshire, studied Botany at Uni, went on to doing HNC Mechanical Engineering while working in London, then a course in Industrial Energy Conservation. I then returned to Cheshire for a job in Energy Conservation. I'm now with Vale Royal Environment Network writing their newsletter and mixing with the members. I'm also helping local gardeners through Organic Food for All and Vale Royal Organic and Wildlife Gardeners. And I'm pushing the message that we can cut a hell of a lot of carbon emissions by BEING SENSIBLE: lay off the flying, minimise your travel needs, share your house, cut down on meat and dairy, and consume less generally. Then there's less hassle at airports, you may not need the expense or time to look after a car, you can share your house bills, you spend less on food and stuff, you don't need to work so hard, you can enjoy LIFE!
