ditchman Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The reason i ask is im fed up eating rubbish cucumbers....the only cucumbers worth eating are the old African type...that are about the size of a baggette roll....cream and light green in colour and hollow in the middle..................if anyone is going there im prepared to pay good money for some seed..................

steve_b_wales Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Is it legal to bring back seeds into the UK? I wanted to bring seeds off a colourful wall plant in Cyprus, but was warned that if they were found at the airport (both sides) I could be fined.

You could have inadvertently stepped in some mud with the seeds in and forgot to clean your shoes before packing them in your suitcase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
