Me thinks that you is a swopaholic jayb :tongue3:

.................... and so are we  :toothy10:  :wave:

Nice idea to hold a tomato and pepper swap, but would have to be quite early in the new year.

A Tomato and Pepper/chilli swap sounds great and I can do loads for tomatoes but I wouldn't really have anything to start off chillies and peppers I'm afraid.

There is quite a number of those in current round robin already...but this could be 'more of tomato swap' and people could  add and swap chillies and peppers as well, as and when they get added into parcel...? Perhaps using round robin stash as starter....perhaps I could send some for start of the round to get things moving....(I don't have lots neither, but some amount of small 'bits'  of 'this and that')

??? ...just some thoughts.... :drunken_smilie:

It's been sent can you guess to who- not many left now so this should be fairly easy...............

There was a crooked lady and she walked a crooked mile
To a town where the spire was as crooked as her smile
A crooked parcel posted, packed with crooked seeds
And when you send it on beware the crooked thieves
They seem to work at the post office!

You know, whenever I see a church with a normal steeple it takes me a few seconds to work out why it looks so weird...

Great clue,

I cannot cope with the thought of 6 acres of weeds. :BangHead:

Positive tried to deliver yesterday whike I was asleep, so I picked it up from the delivery office today.

Wow! Never seen so many seeds! Haven't had chance to look at everything yet but I did immediately spot some things I'm very excited about.

That's my evening sorted then... :)

Fantastic I am so glad it arrived I was beginning to worry as I had the same old experience at the post office - too big - too heavy needs to be signed for blah blah blah  and when I finally got him to do it for £3.90 signed for he said it would never arrive, being in the mood for an argument I asked him should the post office be offering services that they seem not to bother with? at that point he went very quiet.

have fun it was a lovely afternoon for me I also picked lots of seeds I have never heard of and had to look up.

and I hope you smiled at the clue and didn't mind being a crooked lady. I saw that spire for the first time when a child and it really caught my imagination.

Yes, it's nice to have my ipad next to me so I can look things up! I thought I was pretty knowledgable about veggies and herbs but some of these are very new to me.

What's extra awesome is that there are things in there that have been on my mental wishlist for ages, so I've genuinely been all "yay" as I realised what they are!

I did like the clue, it made me laugh. :icon_cheers:

Is the parcel still on the move or has the pigeon died.

As far as I know the Parcel is still with Silverleaf?
As soon as it comes home here I'll be posting it on to you. I'd like to get the tomato and Chilli parcel going pretty soon.

I'm sorry everyone, with recent events it's slipped my mind a bit. I'll get it in the post ASAP.
