    All you have to do is fill in this form on the M&G website:

    It's all above board, I've already received my seeds, 11 packets:

                  That was quick Marley. It is a nice selection with one or two herbs I've never tried growing before.

                    It was John, very pleased as a couple I haven't grown before either but I use lots of herbs fresh or dried in my cooking so can never have too many.! :yay:

                          Good idea. We couldn't wait so all are in pots in the greenhouse. Some things like the Rocket & Chives will germinate very fast now, but I'm not sure if you will get Basil to germinate direct outdoors, maybe it will with a cloche cover.
