Jitterbug

notice you said "olde worlde" and not "olde worlde charm(e)". Kind of place where you ask for a side salad, and they give you a plate of cold chips. i'll certainly pop in in the summer

Well the Red Parcel has landed safely and what a seedy frenzy I had. What a lovely variety of seeds to choose from.

Jeannine - many thanks for all your hard work in making this such a special parcel and to everyone else who has been so generous with all their different seeds. I personally am able to try out seeds that I would not be able to buy myself and would be too scared to buy a whole packet. So keep up the good work everyone.

Next stop LB, somewhere in East India, C???? ;D

I will strap it up tightly and send it on its way tomorrow afternoon 1st class.

Me, me, me ;D ;D That's made my morning Jitterbug - and Jeannine :-* for organising everything!
I'm off to sort me seeds, ready for a quick turnround. I'm experimenting this year with some turnips that taste like melon, and apparently you can eat them raw - like an apple! - or grate them into salad etc, so I'll def. put some of them in cos it would be good to be able to compare notes with someone later on. Yep - I'm in seed mode now, and have to go sort stuff ... as soon as I've finished browsing A4A ;D

Oooooo, is that a turnip called oasis? I've got some of those... hope they live up to expectations :D

Rhubarb Thrasher · « **Reply #31 on:** April 13, 2007, 11:35:39 »

better than a melon that tastes like a turnip....

could whoever's got the red parcel tell me what variety the red onion seeds were, please. I took a few to try, and threw away the packet after I sowed them ???

RT, that's probably what I'll be growing in the coldframe then ;D

Citychick - yep, Oasis - I got it cos it sounded intriguing so it'll be interesting to compare notes later on.

Blue are right on you tail now XX Go red Jeannine

The postman didn't bring it :'( I now want to spend the rest of the day pottering with me pots and keeping an eye out for a red delivery van, and my son wants me to take him to see the Mr Bean film :P What to do, what to do ...... (And it's a bit ironic that the film is Mr Bean ;D)

Jeannine · « **Reply #37 on:** April 14, 2007, 13:03:49 »

Oh, and the blue have theirs, but going out on Monday so you are almost equal XX Jeannine

ellkebe · « **Reply #38 on:** April 16, 2007, 18:59:13 »

Parcel waiting for me when I got home :) - and my appetite for seeds may now actually be sated (well, temporarily ;D ;D) Like a kid at the lucky dip I was ::) ;D

Took some out - put some in - so it's quite a sizeable parcel moving on (tomorrow am, hopefully) to a gal with a very appropriate surname ;D

Jeannine - many thanks for organising this (and it is very well organised) - have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jeannine · « **Reply #39 on:** April 16, 2007, 19:01:43 »

That puts you back in the lead again.. come on Blues XXX Jeannine
