Allotments 4 All

It's arrived! I will be filling my advent calendar!! Taking my time to enjoy ,research and drool. I will over Christmas post some notes on my contribution.
Huge thank you to JanG for making this possible and everyone else for being so generous.
Wishing you all the very best for the coming season.

That is indeed a brilliant collection and just look at Markfield Rover's exquisit seed envelopes!  Oh WoW, just WoW!  Thank you Jan for the sneaky peek!

I'm pleased to say all the parcels except Ruud's older seeds have now arrived. I hope to get them in the post very quickly now. Three of you are interested in experimenting with some of the older seeds but as that parcel seems stuck with Royal Mail still I think it's best if I despatch the main seed circle seeds as they are.

It's a phenomenal collection of seeds yet again. I haven't counted them yet but the photo shows what each person will get. This in fact is my share out, roughly grouped by type, and of course each person's will be different as I hope I've managed not to give anyone their own seeds back again! But I'm sure you'll agree that it's a brilliant collection. It includes huge numbers of French beans and tomatoes with perhaps not as many peas as one might expect. There are also more ornamentals than we've had in the past, a growing field for us, and, as well as good numbers of lettuce and peppers, there are some interesting one-offs such as okra, scorzonera, amaranth grain, beetroot, mangle and water melon. So much to look forward to!

Still well before the major Christmas rush Jan.  Let's hope both packages turn up promptly.  Thank you for keeping us informed. 

I'm sorry about the delay in despatching seed circle seeds to everyone. The last package was due to arrive today but Royal Mail say they were 'unable to attempt delivery' which is disappointing. Fingers crossed for Monday.

In addition Ruud's older seeds have been in the care of Royal Mail since Monday which is a bit worrying. At least his main package is safely here and has been shared out.

All being well, I hope to send off the impressive selection of seed circle seeds early next week with or without the seeds requested by some of you from the older selection.

👍 Email sent.

I'd like to see a list of the squash and sweet peppers, please.

Great. I'll email you the list of those.

Got to love a challenge! Tomatoes and cues please !

You might remember that Ruud mentioned a few weeks ago that he has come by a lot of seed which is rather old. He is sending me a lot of this seed, in particular a very large number of squash varieties and quite a few tomatoes, chilli and sweet peppers, and a few cucumbers and melons. Some of these seeds will germinate and some won't. I would love to pass on as many of these seeds as anyone would like to experiment with. Ruud is keen that they shouldn't go to waste and is hoping that it will be possible to keep many of these varieties going.
As this is not really the realm of the seed circle, if you'd like any of these seeds, please do message me or indicate here and I will send you a list of varieties or simply choose for you at random if you prefer.
