    I think Silmar's right some of the brand new seeds I sowed didn't germinate and some out of the seed parcel did it's just hit and miss.

    Very hit and miss-Poor results with the sweetcorn and yet almost all the flowers germinated-so have way too many and will be giving to friends and family.

    Those Paris Market carrots are going great guns-very pleased I chose some of those.

    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.

    Just googled the Bulgarium Alliums and they are so beautiful , i hope some left by the time it gets to me.

    Harvested the first Allium Christophii as the seeds were starting to open on it and rain forecast , so in 2/3 days by the time its dry again all the seed could have dispersed.

    I was wondering where parcel was as well ,

    I just googled the alliums too and they're fab. I've just taken the head off my large alliun and am hoping the seeds will be ok.

    I had one Alium "Gladiator" that never even flowered...leaves got up to around 12 inches or so.

    All thats left now is the label...I think the slugs may have had it...grrrrr.

    PM'd them both, as I recall last time there wasn't much communication around this part of the list (I don't mean you in that clematis), that's why there are a few rules, one of them being to post on the site so we all know where it is. Getting mildly frustrated (not that you can tell)

    Chill Jo chill :)
