So chuffed I finally got my parcel together and posted to Galina, thank you for stepping in and keeping the Circle going I've lots of post reading to catch up on!
Just sent in my seeds.The parsnips are F3 hybrids of about 5 different varieties. Parsnip seeds lose viability quickly to about 5% after 21 months (i.e. spring 2017), so use it or lose it.Greek cress forms small florets (~3'' across) so can be used as a catch crop between rows of larger plants and to be harvested before those larger plants attain full size. They can also be sown after midsummer to be eaten in spring.Marjoram is perennial.
Glad it arrived safely, I may have put too many weighty things in and some are bought in not saved, so not quite what the parcel is about. You might need to discard some of mine if you're short of space.
Hi Galina,Your inbox is full, I couldn't send you this PM.For the incoming mail I think Royal mail is being strange, I measured it and it was definitely within the limits for a large letter. My apologies for not considering that there might be other things than seeds in the outgoing mail. Please let me know your account number and sort code and I will transfer the postage shortage to your account.I organised a seed swap myself and had some people send more seed packets than needed. I thought you might like to have them.Many apologies for the extra work,
Great to see you back again Jayb But wonderful of Galina to sort out this years distribution. Did anyone listen to Gardeners Question Time at Brighton's seed Sunday. ? I was a bit disappointed to hear Jame's Wong say that it was a great opportunity to get rind of that packet of seed you had in the back of a drawer for ages and get something really rare and special in return. Hmm........ missing the point there a bit Mr Wong
Mine will be in the post tomorrow. I should have done them last week but I had a terrible cold and got nothing done at all!
