Allotments 4 All

I think you just have to take a chance - if it is in the system, and is well done up and labelled with proof of posting there is no reason for it to get lost.  Just delayed.  If we keep waiting for gaps in strikes it could be halfway round in six months.   ::) ::) ::)

I agree with you both. Its always a worry when you're the one responsible for sending it on, isn't it?
I think you've made the right decision to post it, Pam.   :)

Its on its way ,,hopefully

I love this idea of passing the parcel - when will another be taking place as I have loads of leftover seeds to add?

Start one  :) :) :) :) :) :)

what do i have to do?

mpdjulie - if you want to start a parcel you just start a thread saying you're starting a new pass the parcel and ask people to join.
People will pm your or post and ask to join and then privately send you their details so you can compile a list and then you send out the parcel to the first person and so on, until it comes back to you with a new assortment of seeds so you get something different yourself to plant.

If you do decide I'd love to join.  ;)

Or if you wait till this parcel comes back to me, I can send it on to you to start the new round ??? ???

LOL I was just thinking - I bet asbean is thinking she made that sound so simple and all the planning and label making I've put into arranging this pass the parcel.  ;D
And we all appreciate it too asbean.  ;)

How long do you think it will be before it comes back to you Asbean?

Well, there are 25 people (including myself at the end).  I posted it to the first person on 5th October, and it is now en route from No. 6 to No. 7.  If everyone is as quick off the mark as the first half dozen, and the post office don't play silly b*ggers, and Christmas is nearly upon us, I think it will take about three months in total.  Hard to say, really.

The label part is not hard, either.  People who want to participate pm you their name and address, just copy and paste into your label template.

It's a worry, keeping an eye on progress.  you feel the responsibility but have no control lol  :) :) :) :) :)

I received it today so will get it back on its way as quickly as possible.  Some very interesting seeds in there too!

Yippeee!!!  It's still moving  :) :) :)

Don't forget the cryptic clue ... ... ...  ::) ::) ::)

Thank You Lord

Time to send it on its way again - or are you still sorting through your seeds ???

Don't forget the cryptic clue for the next recipient  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Parcel is winging its way to the next recipient, could it be Steptoe and son? (Sorry that is a crap cryptic clue but I have been working all night and only had a couple of hours sleep, thats my excuse anyway).  ::)

Dadnlad

Not very cryptic, but guaranteed to bring a smile to his face  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Woohooo !   It's here ! :o

Got home earlier than usual today and found the parcel

Waited till the little fella was home from school, then we've been sorting out packets of seed all afternoon - a thankless task ::)

Great load of seeds - some out, some more in and repackaged already
We'll post in the morning on the way to school

Cheers Asbean for organising the swap, great fun and apparently even better than Star Wars :o  :-*

B****r  -  forgot the cryptic clue!

Never been good at these, but how about 'Zimbabwean bloom' ?
