Thanks for posting the link, i was a bit worried at first because the person with the seeds on offer is admin with very few posts, but the site looks like it's been set up properly.
Anyway i have asked for a few seeds for our allotment as there are a few members that have recently started, including me ;D

I have asked for some seeds. We have a lot of new plot holders who I'm sure will love a freebie pkt of seeds

I asked for some seeds as we have about 6 new people over our allotment and recieved this morning about 60 packets of each ;D

I guess there will be a lot of people down my allotment growing the same stuff.

I have received these seeds, about 25 packets couldn't believe my luck. Our Lotti's AGM is coming up so will share them around then.

Hi I got a lovely email from the magazine today apologising for the delay and saying that the seeds are on their way. They also asked for pics of any resulting plants for the mag and also any questions from allotment gardens that they could ask the panel about as they were running out.

I got it too. I had forgotten about the seeds. There should be more people on our site now the weather is getting better. A good way of introducing ourselves.

Can kale be used as a green manure?
