Hi Laura,
sorry I didn't explain it in the first place. I put all sorts of seeds in a package and send it to a next person on the list, the person takes out of the package what he/she wants and tops it up with his/her seeds and send it to a next player.
 
General rules are: not to keep the parcel for too long and please if there is already a packet of one variety of tomatoes or onion or something with 400 seeds, this is enough for all of us, don't add more. I don't want to end up with 4 packets of something which nobody wants! Please be sensible, it's better to put a couple of seeds of unusual flower/veg/bean or something what you like yourself, instead of just padding it up.

Can I join in too please? Have watched several of these go round, and would love to experience the excitement you all talk about!  Hopefully I'll be able to add something useful too!

Do I PM you my address, Natasha, as I haven't done this before?

You are all welcome to join, please PM me you address, there are 16 people currently on the list.
I was going to organise our list by location to reduce parcel's travelling time and our waiting time, but I'm not sure if it worked previous time. The parcel was slow at times due to human factor, rather than postal delays.
Second thought was to organise it by first come first serve base.
Third thought was to put strong players at the top so that they contribute more for those who just started.
Any thought on this are very welcome. I'll send the parcel to a first player on Monday.

Yay!!! Quite exciting isn't it! I know the rough idea of it but can someone just tell me exactly the protocol etc.

Is there a list of the names and addresses in the parcel? How many seeds can you take out and how many do you replace?

Really looking forward to it!  ;D
