      Penny does not actually be involved in the postal round, when the seeds with me I dash off a quick list and she tells me if she would like anything, last time it was just 2 lots out of the seeds in there ,as she really would prefer veggies, She sent a wonderful contribution of ,tomatoes ,peppers ,squash,beans to name what I can recall ,which will be in the new parcel.

          Kyle, accepting that your question has been answered, but this is from your curiosity point of view. My daughter lives in British Columbia, Canada, quite a way from Penny's Ontario and it takes mail three weeks from here to be delivered, not sure how long coming back though. :)

              Hi Pam , just sorted my seed box out , can I donate some of my over purchased seeds ( flowers and veg )to the parcel . I'll put them all in clearly marked envelopes.
              By the way I think you need to confirm once again when the parcel starts its round :biggrin:

                  Sounds aaaaaggggeeeessss away: but, (trust me!) the seed swap covers a large distance over a long period of time. It is rather like waiting for that moment when you first plant the seed, to seeing it sprout, to transplanting it, to whiling away a bit of time in the cold frame, to putting it into it's final planting hole and then ... bearing its fruit.

                  Well worth a little bit of patience, I think?
