We have discussed earlier about how many of us have seeds from supersprout. I have just sorted out some seeds... and thought we could have a pass the parcel of SS's seeds. I think if everyone who has SS's seeds would like to take part that would be lovely. If I do it in 2 parts...
Part 1... swaps with those who have SS's seeds and
Part 2... those who don't have SS's seeds - i could split the package that came back.
That way we all have a bit of Supersprout growing on our plots... we can then save seeds for next year and keep her legacy going.
let me know what you think.

Emma, that sounds really wonderful. I don't have any of SS's seeds so would have to be in part 2. I am sure she would be really pleased to think we would all have some of her seeds on our allotments.
I would very much like to be included ... she sent me seeds that I would be happy to share. Flo :)
Hi
Would love a little SS on my plot, i am sure she sent me some seeds but i did not keep a record of who sent me what when i started off.

I would love so much to be involved and have none of Sarahs seeds, so pop me into part two and i would be privileged to keep Sarahs memory living on in my garden :-*
The Brilliant Fairy touched you with her wand OO !! ;D
I've still got a few SS Pineapple toms, and possibly some squash but like Cambourne I forgot to mark the squash when they arrived. Going by the handwriting on the packet, I'd say they were Sarah's though.
Count me in please but be aware that I'll be awol from 28/3-3/4.
;D
That's such a lovely idea - please count me in.
I dont have any of SS's seeds, but I would love to be in part 2.
cj :)
I didn't have any of SS seeds but thanks to KP who has kindly sent me a few tom seeds I can now grow some seeds which came from Sarah. Brilliant idea.
Lorna.
A great idea,
I would need to be in part two please, I will PM you my address
ooh, what a lovely idea!
I'd love to play (in part 2) then I can plant her seeds in the SuperSprouter she gave me :)
what a lovely way to remember ss
ss sent me some giant thistle seeds last year but i stupidily misplaced them :(....but if they ever turn up i'll let you know & you can add them to your collection oo :)
great idea..count me in..
May I participate in Part 2 please? I don't think I have any seeds from Sarah - and sadly I seem to have deleted the messages we exchanged. I have bought a Victoria plum tree which is now dedicated to her, so I know it will do well.
How soon will Part 2 be inaugurated? I'd love to be able to sow a Buttercup squash this year.
Tricia
Yes please i would like a seed or two in memory of SS, thank you OO.
Me too! I don't have any though... :(
What a clever idea. I never had the priviledge of getting any seed from her but would love to have a small part of her in the garden - some of that thistle sounds good.
Please put me on the list for Part 2.
Thanks

Hi I swapped seeds with her the week before she went into the hospice and I do know which ones, she only sent me about 10 or so squash of two types, I don't think it will go very far as I have already planted some of them, the plants popped through the day she died. If I can help I will???

What a great idea. I would love to be included in part 2 if possible ;D
I have various seeds from SS. I don't need anything in return. Do I send the seeds to you OO?
please count me in for part 2 if possible. i'd love to have something growing that came from ss. a wonderful idea oo. x
Top idea OO count me in for part 2. :-* ;D ;D ;D
I'd be up for part 2 - sounds like a lovely idea. :)
Just to clarify... could all part oners pm me... I'll get round to part 2 ers when part one is sorted.
or you can email me

would love to do something but have got too many seeds so do not want to waste any but if we can do it next year please count me in then
BB :)
I think it's a great idea. Although I only started last summer and have yet to plant the runner beans that SS sent me, I hope they do well so I can pass some on next year. (My bean bed is already covered in straw in anticipation.)
I'd be ineterested in part 2 - it'd be great to keep a little part of her in each of our gardens
I really have to step in here folks....sorry :'(
Pete, we're in a unique situation here we've never experienced before....you're 13, a minor, and this is the potentially Big Bad World Wide Web..I feel that your parents should write to Dan authorising the release of you address to selected folks on this site before you give out your address to even more people than you already have.
I've thought this from the first but really do need to put my misgivings in writing here now.
Regards, Lishka
Lish, I stand right beside you on this one, it is a big bad world and Pete your parents should be contacted for authorisation.
I have felt uncomfortable since you sent me your address some time ago,without my asking for it,and had I had anything to send you I would certainly have contacted your parents first so they knew who I was.
If you feel that your parents support you with your endeavours to become a gardener this should not present a problem.
I am Great Grandma and constantly worry about the dangers on the net, we have some wonderful people on here and I feel sure your Mum would be grateful we are a good bunch and are concerned.
Thanks Lish, I realise this was a difficult post to write.

I have PM'ed both of you - I don;t want to use this board to discuss
Pete, I have received you PM. I feel it best considering what you said that it is better that you do not contact me privately again. Jeannine
Hi, I still have these seeds that Supersprout sent me, there are 2x9 of two different types, do you want me to send them somewhere? XX Jeannine
Hi - I've been away from the site for about a season or so, and didn't save seeds from the plants that I swapped with Supersprout. I would really appreciate being part of part 2, but do appreciate that there will be members with more recent memories of SS. Please count me in if you possibly can.

I would like to offer a suggestion on account of why I have not asked to be included in Part2 although I have offered some seeds for part on1 that she sent me.
I had the chance to know Supersprout for only about 2 weeks before she died, In that time I had some very sweet pm,s from her and would have loved to have had the chance to become long term friends with her. I feel it would be unfair for me to ask for her seeds as there are bound to be only a few and yet there are many people who have known her for a long time. She sent me two lots of seeds and I had planted them on receiving them.They popped through the soil the day she died, I have the balance of them which I will pass to the organiser for the parcel.
It seems to me that if there is a lot of people who want to go into this pass the parcel it may be prudent to send the parcel to those folks who knew her well and for people like myself who are new to the forum to pass on this one, perhaps we could get seeds from the veggies that the first folks plant this year,a 2nd Generation pass the parcel fro the newbies among us.
I have no problem with this and it would give me something to look forward to next year about this time.
I maybe preaching to the converted as you may all have known her along time.Perhaps I am the only one who did not.
Thank you for reading my post,
XX Jeannine
Now that's a good idea.

Hi All
I've not disappeared HoNEST!!
My internet at home isn't working (AGAIN! gerrr) and work is so hectic.
Anyway I seem to have missed an awful lot of discussion over the past week. My aim is to have all seeds sent to me and then pass out to group 1. It seems that group 2 needs more consideration and thought. I plan on sending seeds 2 weeks today (monday).
