    I think we could slip anything in there too, not just seeds-labels, booklets, canes, raffia tape anything useful and compact as long as it is to do with horticulture.

    hi all,

    is the seed swop just between the ones on the list or will it go further? Or can other people be added to the list?:scratch:

    I think we should keep it to the list-and people can add their own names-and they will follow on a first come first served basis.

    The success of this op will probably be the speed with the parcel is passed round.


    It will be fine as long as you remember who is before you and after you, there is no need to remember anything else-for instance

    Cheng is before me and Shobna -Init sister is after me-which reminds me Shobna, you will need to send me your add via PM, it will be sent off to you probably tomorrow, if not the day after for sure.

    I won`t be posting what is in there-because I want to give a surprise-I will add a written list in the parcel though-unless anyone objects of course then I will put the list up on here.

    Good news. Claire. Maybe it is worth to ask person below Shobna to send address as well if Shobna is inactive so we donâ??t get stuck.

    I think it is nice for people for involved - more the better. It is nice to know what other people grow and see unwanted seeds get used. If this event is successful, we could have similar events in regular base â?? like Christmas surprise â?? where you only send out one letter to the next person in line with surprise seeds off cause â?¦.

    Okilly dokilly,

    Shobna will be posting tomorrow at 11ish, so if no contact I will pass it on then to DaisyDee, if Dee you could send me your add via PM then will do that, if Shobna gets in touch then I will send it to her with your address in the envelope.

    Is that ok?
