I'm sure it is going to the Wirral next, but I may be wrong, the package is downstairs. I will confirm later and all things being equal, it will be back with the post office tomorrow afternoon.

Loads of lovely things, daughter enjoyed going through all of the treasures with me. I have really enjoyed this and would defo be game again and again. ;D

After my bath just spent 2 hours sorting out the seeds to keep and the extras to send on.

Keep your eyes on the swap shop forum - not sure yet about the if, when, who etc of pass the parcel number 6!!

Amazin · « **Reply #87 on:** March 15, 2007, 20:20:09 »

Yippee! Just got in from work to find a big prezzie!!

What a wonderful selection, and so much of it, too. I've been making my contribution up in anticipation and hope to have it on its way by tomorrow or Saturday - it'll be homeward bound, tired but happy, back to City Chick!

;D ;D ;D

Good gods, I've already got enough seeds to be planting. ;)

Though I could probably be tempted if we were to start off a flowers/ornamental seed parcel (as opposed to fruit/veg).

I thought I was on the list :'(. Were there 2 parcels? ::)

CityChick · « **Reply #91 on:** March 16, 2007, 19:31:26 »

I've started 2 rounds, with 2 parcels in each round. Parcels 1 and 2 from the first round (this thread) are nearly done now.

Marymary - I've got you down for parcel number 3 (though its got a few other people to visit first...)

I haven't got any definite plans yet for when the parcels come back to me... I'm open to suggestions! ;D

Amazin · « **Reply #92 on:** March 16, 2007, 23:22:33 »

Fluffygrue, there were flowers and herbs in the parcel as well as fruit and veg. And there still are...!

;D

Marymary · « **Reply #93 on:** March 17, 2007, 13:57:09 »

Thank you Citychick cos I'm really looking forward to it.

Suggestions with what to do with the leftovers - maybe send them off again but persuade someone else to take a turn at organising?

Jeannine · « **Reply #94 on:** March 17, 2007, 14:13:45 »

If you want to ship them over to me I will organise it again if you like, I do have a whole heap of seeds to add that folks seem to want. XX Jeannine

Oh City Chick just read all the comments ...Just wanted to say that you have made so many gardeners happy ,... the waiting , anticipation, sorting through so many different seeds....passing on seeds to a good home .

For me as a new gardener it has been a great experience... it allowed me to try different varietys ...and the success is easy to see with the sheer number of pass the parcels on the go.

You have encouraged me to try and set up a seed swop at my allotment association...

Yes it would be great to keep it up ..as many seeds had long shelf lives ...or be in plenty of time for next season ?

But how can we best do that ?

You have done a fantastic job ...
Do you need a rest now??? or are you the the kind who loves being part of it ?

from your experience , how many per parcel is workable..how many parcels are doing the rounds ?
? how many who took part or missed deadlines would want to do it again.

How could we share out the workload?
One option may be to consider breaking into geographic areas ...Would that speed up delivery ??? and divide workload ...
Interested in others thoughts ...
:)
Willing to offer if needed ...i am in Sheffield ...or really happy to be in next round
