    I have:
    organic grosse lisse tomato seeds
    organic sweet basil seeds
    some vanilla orchid cuttings - these need tropical conditions
    flannel flower seeds

    I'll list more next week.

    Does that oil come with a massage? :shock:

    I have a packet of Tommy Red Toe tomato seeds (Diggers) unopened (Best by Jan 06)

    Would gladly swap for some organic grosse lisse tomato seeds? Or if anyone else had something.

    :)

    Forest,

    I would be keen on swapping as many vanilla orchid cuttings as you can spare for organically grown native tubestock (banksias acacias, native grasses, eucs etc) or organic culinary herbs as tube stock or rooted cuttings?

    Quick plug for Steevie Weevie :heart: :rock: :heart:

    Cathy, he grows and sells a large variety of quality native tubestock at his local (Merimbula area, NSW) markets but is willing to send by Australia Post.

    PM him for a catalogue and pricelist of available stock :D :D :D

    Steevie Weevie's Hedges and Sedges, when only the best will do......

    Steve, I could do another 4 cuttings. Do you have any Gymea lilies - Doryanthes excelsa or Doryanthes palmeri? If not, I'm interested in any native shrubs with small flowers (similar to the Geraldton Wax) that can be grown in a subtropical zone.

    Do you know that vanilla orchids need tropical conditions?

    I mainly do potted semi advanced culinary herbs for the markets as Coles and Woolies (who have a monopoly of fruit and veg in my area :evil: ) produce horrible expensive soggy cut herbs (and everything else). As I have a low tech, organic production and no truck haulage etc, my quality and price is far better than the corporate food sellers. The native tube stock I grow is mainly for regeneration of my 21 acres, but I usually have a surplus of tertiary plants (acacias, banksias, grasses etc) and eucalyptus which I am happy to trade and send via the post (I will donate them to genuine local landcare or bush-regen groups). I am interested in cuttings or seed of good culinary herbs or hardy natives (frost tolerant).

    Forest, sorry no Gymea's, a little frosty for them down here (kills the flowers) so I don’t grow them. I don't have much in the way of small flowered shrubs, I am currently growing Eriostomen myoporoides (long leafed wax flower) , Westringia fruticosa - Coastal or Native Rosemary and Westringia `Wynyabbie Gem'. These are all a month or so away from being ready (they are only just rooting up now). Interested in any of these? We are building an atrium to grow tropical plants in hence my desire for the Vanilla Orchard.

    I have 4 Wynyabbie Gems but I like the sound of that long leafed wax flower. I'm happy to send you the vanilla cuttings. I'll PM you.

    Forest,

    Your cuttings and seeds arrived today, thank you so much I am genuinely excited. I'll send the Rock Lilly's off first thing Monday when I am in town again, ( I got a bit busy planting this week and ran out of daylight).

    Thanks again

    Cathy, your lavender and roses petals arrived today. What a treat it is to have it in my home. The scent is amazing, must sweeter and stronger than any of the store-bought stuff I've bought in the past. Thank you so much. I love it. I'm looking forward to using it in my first soap. I'll let you know how it goes. :D
