Parcel arrived yesterday morning, lovely job :D, cheers Norfolklass

But what a dilema - check out much awaited parcel :-\ or grab the only chance this week to get down the plot, with a spring heatwave forecast ::)

So we spent a glorious day at the plot yesterday (and had our first bbq of the year anorl  8)) - and all day today sifting through a treasure trove of seeds, whilst it pee'd down outside :P

We've taken out lots of bits and bobs (so many varieties - so little space), and bunged in loads of half packets and saved seeds for everyone else to enjoy ;D

Anyhow, the parcel is repacked and ready to go, and I'll post it RD tomorrow - so watch out  Riffster !

And thanks Jeannine and everyone else for a lovely weekend  ;D  :-*

Hi Guys,

The parcel arrived Wednesday,  and got it turned around last night, and got posted today, ( Thursday ).  I was hoping it might get to the next recipient on Sat for a great weekend.

There is a good chance its pre noon Fri al la special delivery.

You know where is going,   Its off to Stevens706.

What a great parcel,  many thanks to Jeannine et al.

Best Regards

     Riffster....

Hi everyone, well you seem to be going great in my absence..well done. If that parcel gets much bigger it will need a forklift!!

I hope everyone is well.

Sincere apologies for this delayed response, folks. The parcel arrived with perfect timing - I was off work, catching up with the much neglected garden. I had a good old rootle and a not insubstantial firkle - I decided to only take samples of things I'd never grown before and there were some really exciting items - before sending it winging its way to find Bonnie Tyler. Actually, with this message being so late, I reckon it's already wung.

Jeannine, you've done it again girl! Many thanks for your hard work and generosity of spirit. Round of applause... or just a round - whichever you prefer!

 ;D

It's just arrived, safe and sound - and I'm speechless!  :o

The selection of seeds is incredible - thank goodness it arrived at the weekend - I need time to get over the shock, and time to select and replace!   :)

It's on its way again - to even sunnier climes than here, olé!

I had a great time - especially as there were seeds in there that I'd not even heard of, but then I am fairly new at this!  I am definitely looking forward to trying to grow Goji and Okra - I see from other threads on here that it is possible.

Very many thanks Jeannine for this, and everyone else who participated!
