UK seeds: exchange or Permie Pie

Like last year I’d like to raise some money for Permies with my saved seeds this year.

For people in the UK, I’ll send up to three packets of seed in exchange for a slice of Permies Pie. For people in the rest of the world: one slice gives you one packet, a second gets you up to three more. Since the seeds are only available in limited quantities, purple moosage me with your request (and snail mail address to send to) first, so I can check whether I have seed left for you.
Please be aware if you are outside of the UK there may be problems with restrictions on your country allowing imports of seeds, so any loss in transit is at your risk.

Alternatively I'm looking for seeds to add to my landrace project, so if you have any saved seeds of Carrots, Parsnip, Broad (fava) beans, Swede (Rutabaga), Peas, leeks, Avena strigosa (blackoats, bristle oats japanese oats), or Bere barley, particularly any cool season, quick ripening varieties, we can maybe do a swap. I'm also wanting Spingbank clover (Trifolium wormskioldii) and Northern riceroot (Fritillaria camschatcensis) seed to try a polyculture patch with my own local silverweed.

I have the following seeds available in limited quantities (first come first served):

The Yellow Rattle doesn't look like something you'd want if you were growing grains like wheat.

I've never seen it growing in an arable field.  It's an annual of hay meadows and semi-parasitic on grasses so often used to suppress them and allow wildflowers to get established in habitat restoration projects.  Seed is quite short-lived.  

First seeds on their way - happy, happy, happy!

I've still got some of these seeds left and I've also started a separate thread to share some of my plants and cuttings on a new thread here. I think those will be UK only, as I'm not sure whether I'd get away with putting "sticks" on the customs form!
