my return email was different to robins it says

Thank you for pledging to join the RHS Grow Your Own campaign this year. If you have been one of the first 10,000 people (or one of first 50 companies) to sign up you will receive your starter pack as soon as possible (in a maximum of 28 days, one per household). You will also receive our monthly newsletter full of ideas, advice, offers and competitions. In the meantime, if you would like more ideas and advice from the RHS to start planning your fruit and veg growing , go to www.rhs.org.uk/growyourown.

So it sounds like I'm not in the first 10,000 :'(

I pledged on the 25th when the offer was put up and practically got an email reply in minutes saying they will be sent out in approx 28 days. Just been to the website today http://www.rhs.org.uk/growyourown and it says that over 15000 have now pledged, so I must been one of the lucky few that were quick enough. I'll let you know if and when they arrive.

Minww arrived yesterday, some as Mortalitiy's....Baccy Man. you must have had a posh version!!

Digeroo · « **Reply #47 on:** March 21, 2010, 10:27:41 »

I also have the standard version. Recipe for carrot cake looks good. The container growing sheet will be useful for my daughter where there is limited space, and I shall pin up the growing guide in the lottie shed. I put one up last year and it disappeared so hopefully someone found it useful.

Seeds are always welcome. :P

I would have liked the soil test kit.

As I work from home I used the company name on the request perhaps that made a difference. Must admit the fruit & veg snips worth a tenner were unexpected.

Well begger me!

I set you all on to this and I haven't received mine yet, and I sent in before you even new about it! :'( ;)

Got my T& M feebies on Friday though!

This was the one where postage was free and I had a £5 voucher so got 6 packets. ( Went to pages where if you got two for the price of one)

Petunia - 'Rainbow'

Pansy - Fancy Cats

Pansy - Daffodil mixed

Zinnia - Parasol mixed

Auricula -Viennese

Verbena - Quartz Waterfall

Sweet Pea - Miss Wilmott.

I had 2x£5 vouchers but the system would not accept another lot!

But quite happy with what I did get!

I pledged on Feb 25th and they say "maximum of 28 days". which gives 'em 72 hours.

Or else, I'll not honour my pledge. ;) ;)

Mine arrived this morning too. Recipes look good - have still got some squash to use up, might try the Roast Pumpkin and parmesan bake tomorrow :D

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #57 on:** March 23, 2010, 14:17:52 »

I got mine. You can still plant outdoor toms now, but you need to get moving.
