    I wonder which leg of its journey is the longest. It certainly doesn't involve me...From Stafford to me (in kent) not all that far really. Then a very small hop to sussex.
    It's such a well travelled parcel I do wonder the distances it does travel!
    I know.... I should get out more!:o

    Possibly from me to Honey Bee, I'm about 30miles from the scottish border here in Cumbria and Honey Bees profile states "Sunny South Coast"...wherever that might be.

    Just round the corner from me,

    well it's good news and bad news folks.

    The bulgarium allium seeds were probably too damp and have got covered in mould-sorry, but they won't be viable-on the other hand-anyone up for about 10,000 foxglove seeds lol.

    ...And it was just yesterday I was collecting seed from my garden.

    Parcel arrived today, its alot more managable in size this time round. I was amazed to see that nearly everything I put in last time round has gone. One mans trash is another mans treasure I suppose.

    Big kisses to whoever is putting in the fothergills trailing nasturtiums. They look spectacular in my garden and I'm going to try and save some seed.

    A couple of questions guys, there is a handmade packet of seeds I can't find the label for, does anyone know what the folded paper packet of what looks like spikey little hedgehogs is/

    I'll get it off asap

    1- maximum hold time before passing on parcel, unless previously arranged is 3 days (ties in with No3)
    2- message person after you on the list before sending parcel and to the thread so we're all kept in the loop
    3- if no response to a message, move on the next person, after 3 days (Works with No1)
    4- contact details held by Jo for everyone, as an emergency( I already have a few.... name, email, address and a phone if you wish) but it's not compulsery
    5- if you miss your turn, then you miss your turn, you wait til it comes round again.
    6- New joiners go to the back of the queue , i.e behind the person who currently has it ( which will mean keeping the thread up to date on who has is, keep it public, if you have it you post)
    7- Just keep us all informed, maybe a role call either on the thread or by me PMing, maybe with 2 chances to reply then your name is in red and after round of the parcel your off the list till you get in touch then No6 comes into force.
