Jeannine, what's the French one? Does it work the same way?
For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

The French one is Kokopelli and I am very new so still tying to get my head around it, there are seeds available to everybody, then there a thousands more  varieties available only to members.

Anybody good at French can read it  on www/kokopelli.asso.fr

There is a British connection,,paul somebody, I will try to find ouy the addy for you.

Well, my French is still very basic, but I'm taking classes so thought I'd join Kokopelli! 20 euros didn't seem that steep for a pretty impressive range. Now I just have to learn the French for all the varieties...

Yes that is the one you will find Paul on, but I think you have to go on the French one to join. XX Jeannine

Jeannine - google now has a translation thing, if you go onto the google main page and keep clicking on 'more' it'll come up with a big list of things it offers, and translate is one of them.

(or you could just go here http://translate.google.com/translate_t  ::))

Hi,

The Firefox browser can be downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ once installed you can add plugins/extensions (extra software) to the browser, one of which is Fox Lingo which I mentioned.

The FoxLingo toolbar can be found at  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2444

Let me know if you need any more help  ;)

KT, I don't subscribe for the benefits, in my case it is to support the cause, I also subscribe to the French and US one. I think the seeds that are being saved and kept going are the rewards, the freebie packets are just a bonus.

By the way, for those folks who ordered Peacevine toms and didn't get them I have a few I can send out, let me know if they were part of your choices that you didn't get.

XX Jeannine

Like Jeannine ... I subscribe to support their work, especially 'saving' seeds which are being lost due to legislation and commercial pressure.

Also support RSPB and National Trust for same reasons.
National Trust we do view a few properties each year but  the membership is hardly a money saver.

All just good causes ... in my humble opinion

Kokopelli have just joined, got a thankyou letter but no free seeds.
Maybe I have done something wrong on the French language Web site ?
highly likely  ;D

Google translate is 'ace' some of the context comes out a bit 'pigeon English' but easily understood.

Hi all,
Don't know if you are aware of this already, but there has been a problem with some orders sent before Christmas. You will need to ring HSL 02476308226 and reorder if you sent your order in more than 28 days ago. I had my original order returned to sender on Friday :'(
