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 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.

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 want em saying

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.

got mine today,approx 25 packs of the same.Good date on them 2011 but how much kale would you want to grew?Gonna keep back some toms and mixed leaves and pass round the rest.
Can kale be used as a green manure?
