Are you in the UK Hedgewitch? You could try the Organic Catalogue http://tinyurl.com/akpgg or Nicky's seeds http://tinyurl.com/avnj4.

I have some gourd seeds left, couple of years old and the pack has been opened so could be ok. I bought them whilst in Germany so the groeing instructions are not that usefull, unless you have a word with Ina :lol: - But yours if you want them.

And if anybody else needs seeds, the organic catalogue definitely has them - 3 different kinds, plus a mixed bag.

no probs Andy - it was a spare copy and we were given both free at a farmers' market in Aberdeenshire.

Will post it next time we are out.
