Got mine, loads of choice.  Difficult to choose only 6.  They are having a seed swap on their potato day.

Our post is usually very slow.  Last year mine was very late.

If it's any consolation the capsicums were quite boring... Which didn't stop me adding most all as back-ups.

Taxi!!! *flees*

I rejoined the HSL only; my membership 'card' was embedded in the bottom-left of the welcome letter (website login details were top-right, under the GO address).

I also received a copy of 'The Organic Way', an unexpected pack of seeds & the usual seed-saving bumpf.

My seeds arrived this morning. 

Got my first choice.  Crimson Flowered Broad Beans.  Hope they have a higher incidence of red to Robinsons ones.  Have to find a way to isolate them and still manage to fertilise them, don't like flies!!!!  Maybe hover flies?


Got some more different types of beans and a cucumber.

Lucky you, Digeroo! My first choice was broad beans,dying to find out what I get. Also went for a couple of tomatoes, couldn't resist. And some more beans  ;D Not sure where I'm going to put everything but the challenge is fun.

I have several different types of beans that I like.  I used to have one white, one black, one off white and one spotty.  Keeping three different spotty ones separate has been something of a challenge.  Though I can now tell them apart.  They have each had a separate windowsill for drying.  So it was a case of no more spotty or off white beans this year.  Thank goodness for Ying yang.
