And what seeds would your post office like JayB? They are obviously supporting this event I can reuse my envelope too.

What a bargain

They are very nice people

Guess what was waiting for me when I got home???!

Thank you so much, everyone. Currently perusing contents with a cuppa: such visual and tactile appeal, with so much effort having gone into it. What a grand way to spend the afternoon!

PS I can't wait to show the boys.

Its not a problem...once somebody will put claim on them...I shall pop them in post..
I would be surprised if you didn't get something wrong..sorting all those seed into different lots will take some doing.

Thanks everyone and especially to Jayb

All present and correct .cheers

galina · « **Reply #354 on:** February 26, 2014, 22:45:16 »

Same here. Just to add to the list above that JayB has shared the seedsaving for Black Opal tomato to give us seeds from more plants. Also I had Shark's Fin Melon seeds as well as butternut squash in the seed packet from NigelB.

What a treat and what a super choice of different types too.

Blimey, you cleaned your lettuce seeds much better than I did, goodlife! Would you like to share your method? Not that it matters, but yours look so much more professional than mine!

Have showed OH your envelopes, Markfield Rover - he was well impressed! Stunning!

What a treasure trove indeed! And by the way, the first seeds have already been sown

Thank you again all.

Thanks...but it 'only' involved strong set of lungs and dizzy head after lot of blowing..

..and propably lot of seed around garden too...

Galina , glad you liked the packets, I have started a collection, I like the Thomas Etty ones, as a child I can remember Carter's seed packets looking quite Victorian and not in vintage way.

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #357 on:** February 27, 2014, 13:20:18 »
