Edible Plants / Re: Seed Saving Circle 2024
« Last post by galina on Today at 08:59:47 »Thank you for offering to do the admin again for the A4A seed circle, Jan. It is quite a bit of work as I remember from years ago, but also very satisfying. And so many delicious and lovely plants are testimony to our seed saving efforts and your efficient hosting and distribution.
Now that Britain has started to implement import checking, this unfortunately also affects seeds and cuttings or other plant parts. After participating in this seed circle from the beginning and doing the distribution for some years, sadly I can no longer promise with any certainty that I can still participate from outside Britain. Not by regular means anyway. The faff of phytosanitary certification etc is a real problem for a small box of mixed seeds for the circle. I would love to still participate this year, but there is no way I can actually promise to get seeds to UK. Well, the chap who is likely to be the next PM, does talk about standards alignment and the like, so this difficulty participating may hopefully not persist for too long.
