Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand........ THEY'RE OFF!!

Packages are all in the post on their way back to you today. Fingers crossed the post is kind to everyone and there is the gentle thud of bean seeds dropping through letter boxes very soon...

Lots of varieties, and lots of extras - its bean (pun intended!! ;D) fun!

Please let me know when they arrive :)

Looking forward to postie tomorrow. He does keep giving me a few strange stares though - plain brown jiffy bag packages which rattle when shaken!

CC I think you outdid yourself. I have lots of lovely new varieties to try and more than I expected to receive. Well done for a fantastic job. :) :) :)

Glad everyone sounds pleased with their packages :)

A big "thank you" also has to go to ruud, who sent over some very generous packets to share around which helped give extras to everyone. And we all have the fun of trying to identify "ruuds big mystery" when it grows! ;D

There should one small packet in each parcel labelled:

ruud's "BIG MYSTERY???" unknown!

ruud got these from someone in the States. The variety is unknown, hence calling it "ruud's Big Mystery"...

markfield rover · « **Reply #53 on:** May 04, 2008, 12:29:12 »

Perhaps we could compare notes late summer re;Ruud's mystery.

CityChick · « **Reply #54 on:** May 04, 2008, 14:52:10 »

Good idea :)

littlebabybird · « **Reply #55 on:** May 04, 2008, 19:40:02 »

:( oh, I dont have one of those, never mind, next year one of you can keep me some of yours

CityChick · « **Reply #56 on:** May 05, 2008, 07:28:40 »

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that llb :( :( :(

I don't know what went wrong there then. Its definitely on the list I have as sending you (number 8?) And to double check I ticked each variety off as I popped them in the envelope. Well this is a mystery bean in more ways than one then!

We can't have you missing out on the fun - PM me your addie and I'll pop half of mine in the post to you :)

littlebabybird · « **Reply #57 on:** May 05, 2008, 15:25:28 »

hi city chick
please if you save some seeds from the ones you grow i would love to try them next year,
if you dont save seed then i'm sure one of the others does :)

If CC sends two and I did likewise then we should all have enough to do the business.
pm if it's a go'er.
