I've got loads of the above, and I would like some burpless cucumber seeds,
I'll do 6 runners, wrapped in damp kitchen towel, in a plastic bag, first class..they would need to be planted up on receipt..
if you haven't got any cucumber seeds and want some runners, I'm sure we can sort something out..pm me ;D
Hiya ... I would love some runners ... even if I have to go buy you some cuc seeds !! ::) ;D
What else might be on your wish list ??
Flo :)
flowerlady, I've sent a pm..right, any more peeps will have to wait 'til I see if there are any more left ;D
Gnash! Gnash! Gnash!
I believe the marshmello strawbs have an excellent taste! Am going to order some this year.
Jitterbug
jitterbug, don't order any yet, will see how many are left.., give me 'til sunday ;D
I might have some too, but I won't be at the lottie until the weekend.
Oooh, I'm on the scrounge for a few of these... if anyone has spare? :)
will be up there saturday pm, will see how many there are altogether, will plant them in pots 'til after the strike . :)
Hi, i have only just recently got an allotment and would love some runners if there are any left? Laura

hope you all enjoy them ;D
Thanks,
I put the Cucumber seeds in the post this morning.
Thanks Manicscousers
What can I sent you for a swap.... MMm what do I have special.... I've got some agapanthus or a new Tomatoe Tamina or Tomatoe Amish Paste seed if you want to give that a go.
Otherwise you can search the swap list to find my seed list and have a look and see if there is anything that takes your fancy. Let me know!
Regards and once again thanks....

nobody recieved these yet ?..I'm getting worried now, hope they're ok, I sent them first class thursday, I thought some should've got through by now :(
Nay - I watched the postie closely (through the blinds in fact) yesterday morning just in case he had a special packet for me but sadly no. :'( Poor man if he had seen me he would have thought that he had a stalker on his hands. ::) :-[ I have their pots and sand ready and waiting.
Jitterbug
Not yet, my Manic friend... My views on the workers sticking together might change soon...
as long as the strawberry runners don't stick together ;D
Nor me. :-\ This postal strike is a bit too much! I imagine the runners will be ok though... let's hope so! :D
me either. fingers crossed for a parcel when i get home tonight! :-\
p.s manics i have recieved a couple of cucumber types in my recent seed ordres, would you like to know which varieties i have so i can send you a few?
hiya, rosie, lets see what state the strawberries are in, hey ? ;D
Nothing here today, even though i got post today
Laura
gnashing of teeth >:( >:(
posted 1st class, thursday.. :o
woo hoo, arrived this morning.. a little flat but seem to be ok otherwise (not even a yellowing of leaves)
Thank you very much.
:-*
yay, looking forward to mine then!
Here's a phot of some runners having a well earned drink! Arrived in excellent condition. Thanks Manics!! ;D

manics!
got mine today- thank u so much! ;D
yay, a third there ;D
At least I'm not the only one still waiting ::) Here's hoping for a delivery tomorrow ;D
Ollie C : if they are looking that good today, then they will certainly survive another day or two in the post....phew!
cj :)
Yes cj, they'll be fine. Very healthy - better than the ones I bought from Marshalls (I think) last year. I meant to say, the roots had started growing into the kitchen roll so are clearly keen to get going!
Runners arrived today. Thanks ;D ;D ;D They are really well after their extended stay at the GPO! My runners had rooted into the kitchen roll too, Ollie. Here's hoping for a bumper strawberry year in 2008!
cj :)
Sorry I haven't been near the lottie having been off to France the last few days. Anyone still short of marshmallo runners? Can't promise anything till I get there and see what's what but there were certainly plenty last time I was there.
Hope you enjoyed your break in France, Anne.
I would love some Marshmallow strawberry runners please if you have any more to spare please. John is going to make me a raised strawberry area in the Spring, as shown in the picture. We got the idea from a nursery that also does "Pick your own".
The advantage of having the strawberries up high is that the slugs and snails cannot get them so easily and the weeds should be minimal. Easier to pick too and because polythene pulls over the plants, I would be able to let the chickens out beneath them.
I have a few strawberry plants already but they have become mixed and I have never tried the Marshmallow. Is there anything you would like in return Anne? If not I could send you the postage.
Pauline
Yippee!! Mine were there when I got home. A bit worse for wear but after a long soak I popped them into some lovely new potting soil and gave them another water and into the greenhouse they went. I will keep them safely there until the Spring and plant them out.
Once again many thanks.
Jitterbug
any more turned up yet, I'd like to know they all arrived safely ;D

If you still have any runners going spare I would be grateful for them.
I can swop too - if there is anything in particular that you are looking for let me know - I do have some lemon coriander seeds at the moment that are a bit unusual to try. Heaps of other stuff as well though so let me know as I might have it.
Ooooooooo me to if you have a few to spare :) i have a vast amount off odd, weired and normal seed here so let me know what you are looking for :)
I'd send grawc a pm, if I was you, she might not read this :)
Thanks for jogging my elbow manics. ;D
I was at the lottie yesterday but didn't have time to cut any. I have loads though so will cut them next weekend. How did you wrap them? Damp kitchen towelling and poly bag? Or did you put some soil in too?
hiya, anne, just some damp tissue, wrapped around them, in a plastic bag and a jiffy bag..
still some peeps haven't said if theirs have arrived, maybe sitting rotting in a po sorting office :(
my runners are looking fab manic... thank you! what do u want by way of a swap? :D xx
nothing at the mo, rosie, I'll be putting my wish list on swapshop next week ,maybe you'll have something I need ;D
COOL ;)
Who do i PM ;D
(having a dumb day here :P)
sorry, flower, pm grawc, shes, maybe, got some left, ours are all gone :)
Ta,
Have done :D
I'll try to go tomorrow after work and cut some then I can send them to Pauline, Sue and Dawn at the weekend. I think that's everyone who's asked. Dawn can you please pm me your address?
:D thanks soooooo much ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) xxx
runners are in the kitchen waiting to get parcelled up and posted tomorrow morning
Well I didn't quite make the Saturday post - I forgot I needed jiffy bags!! :-[ :-[ Anyway runners now posted first class to Paulines7, star, flowerofshona and mysterio_3d. Hope they arrive intact. ;D ;D (or alive even)
Aw thank you, I will let you know when they arrive, I forgot to ask if you wanted anything in return :D
Thanks very much Anne; I look forward to receiving them. I will let you know when they arrive.
Mine arrived safe toady Anne, thank you soooooooo much :D
Got mine today. Many thanks
They arrived 20 minutes ago !! I cant get over how healthy they look even after they have been through the postal system :D
Thank you so much Grawrc...... ;D ;)
I received mine when I got home this evening as I was out all day. I had an appointment at Bournemouth Hospital and afterwards went across to Hillier Gardens at Romsey. It was a lovely day but so cold on the mobility scooter.
Thank you very much, Anne, for sending the strawberry plants. They are in very good condition despite being through the Royal Mail system. I will pot them up tomorrow. :D
I'm glad they've all arrived safely and relatively quickly! Thanks for letting me know.
OMG i just realised i called you toady Anne !!!!!! :o
I miss spelt TODAY !! honest :-X
