    No, not with me. I have not receive any communication from Abi about the parcel so I assume he still has it.

    btw, I will be on holiday in 2 weeks so it would be good idea not post to me anyway.

    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.

    I have seperated them into little sachets there are plenty there and to be honest the longer it is with Abi the more I can get for the parcel, I am drying lupin seeds and a few others at present-when I get it I will hold it for the full period allowed to make sure every possible seed gets sent. My greenhouse whilst warm is also humid so not a great place to store seeds.

    I have just received the parcel.

    I was a bit surpised as I was not expecting anything.

    The parcel was ripped and sealled with some yrey insulation type. I dont if it was like that or something happened to it.

    Anyway, I went through the content, a lot of them I have seen in the last round and a lot of them have long passed sow by date. There is hardly anything from this season. Well the point I am trying to make is that I am not sure this is worth sending out again.

    Maybe we should all wait until we have fresh harvest or start something more interesting?

    I can wait for it-I do have some seeds that are getting more and more ready to harvest. I vote for a break-I can't sow anything yet anyway, it's the cuttings time of year for me-and I need to fumigate the greenhouse anyway.


    But-as always I bend with the wind so it's up to everyone else.
