To tell you the truth I am getting a bit tired of keeping track of it.  I sort of feel a responsibility for it  I think if it is going to go round again I will have to find a volunteer to take it on.

Only a couple of people have said they want to have it again.

I've been having a sort out, so I could add some stuff and organise another list if other people are interested.

I hope it hasn't got lost in the post! If there's no demand for another parcel now, I could sit on it till the autumn and send it round then. Most of the contents will be OK for another year, and by then I should have masses of seed to add.

I think that is a good idea Robert, and then you start all over again in the autumn. I also hope it has not got lost in the post James has not logged on to say he has not received it.

By the way, i have planted the catawissa onions as you said, now, is it right they will take 2 years to grow, i have heard that but am not sure, i cannot find growing instructions for them.

They'll take two years to reach full size. Meanwhile, they've been dry all winter and may need a bit of mollycoddling for a while.

Plant them where the other plotholders can see them.... always good icebreaker for a conversation with the old'uns :D

hi all

sorry i was sent away on business on moday morning, was given 2 hrs notice, just got home. I have a while you are out card here which i assume is for the parcel,

will shoot over the post office in the morning, if it is it i will get it in the post monday morning.

No problems I think we had started to think another parcel had disappeared.  Take your time, everyone else has!!!

hi all

picked it up yesterday, it certainly exceeded my expectations after reading the previous comments,

I have added some enorma beans from mr fothergills, won't be needing all mine this year,
and some kohl rabbi(?), and a few extra packets of seeds i had sitting around,

will be posting parcel 1st thing in the morning 1st class so should arrive at the next destination tuesday or wednesday.

next location: only english town with the prefix county, a practise given by the gpo to distinguish it from another town of the same name, has its roots in mining, and developed the forerunner to the trade unions.

When I had it, it was the best parcel I've had yet. I'm not sure what all the fuss was about.

I agree, i thought that the parcel was great and as i stated before, i truly do not know what actiongran was complaining about, how she put it and what i received was completely different. god knows what type of parcels she has had before.

I wish some of you people would have some respect and allow some of us to state an opinion without sooooo much criticism in return. I passed on my comments with respect and stated the facts....maybe it was thanks to all my effort that you enjoyed the parcel so much, I hope so.

The parcel has two more people to go, and then back to me.  So this is the final call if anyone else would like to be added.
