We'll see what we get this year. A lot of last years' seeds seem to have ended up in seed swaps, but no doubt someone made use of them!

Is anyone else still waiting for their seeds? I had an e-mail confirming that I would receive them, but I'm still waiting!

We have got ours It took so long I thought the e-mail had not gone through so sent another and have two lots.

Last years came too late so they are being used this year and the tomatoes are already up and raring to go.

They wont be wasted at all and certainly will not go into any seed swaps.

With all the BBC offers. I think the license fee is well worth the money. Poor souls in other lands think it is terrible we are taxed to watch TV but having seen the quality of their canned laughter programmes, and interruptions of adverts during programmes. I say long live the BBC, the NHS and God Save the Queen.

It was the same packet that had already had Ribena spilt on it (and been dried out), thought it best to plant em incase the seeds were wet/damp.

 I got a package today too, customs had opened it but let it through,I guess because said seeds on the envelop, there were 5 packets . This is strange because I got a package two weeks ago as well??
