There was a lovely selection of seeds in the package. I have taken what I wanted and added some more so will post it on tomorrow

Can I just say that I put some seed packets in which were officially out of date, but had been stored in sealed up tins with silica gel sachets inside, so were nice and dry...and I only put in seeds which I know are long lived..( ie not parsnip!)

Hope that is ok with any of you who were wondering which cheapskate stuck in old seeds.......

and I grew stuff from all of them last year!

I don't have a problem with it, they are all free so nothing to lose in trying them

still don't know what the brown thing was :suspect: so just left it in there

I did ask, Jelly, Seed Swap Anybody? - Page 4 Icon_smile

but Mrs N hasn't replied yet...

maybe..it crept in while on route from her to me? and is nothing to do with her... Seed Swap Anybody? - Page 4 Fresse

maybe it wants to be planted? and it read that we were doing this ..and wanted to join in? Seed Swap Anybody? - Page 4 Icon_eek

maybe my cold cure is making me think odd things...... Seed Swap Anybody? - Page 4 Suspect

Maybe the next person to get the packet should just plant it and let us all know what happens!

Hmm that could be an idea, I must admit I thought it was Cws' artichoke bits so didn't take any as I have an idea I might just have some growing in my compost this year...

Just to say I've posted off the package, it's kind of going south and sideways from here

oh and whoever does it next, don't do what I did and forget to put the list back in BEFORE you seal it up :geek: had to undo it all and slip it back in

by Compostwoman 6th April 2010, 12:38 pm

I did that as well

I'd love to see all this package's journey on a map once we've all seen it!

Forgot to say that the jiffy bag full of seeds arrived with me yesterday. I'll go through it this weekend and try to get it back on its way on Monday!

I failed at getting it in the post yesterday, but have just been through it and am about to package it up and get it back on its way in a northwardly direction (assuming the post office hasn't shut early today!)
