    Nice one Andy, I'm awaiting seeds from three people but think that maybe I should start the parcel on its way Tuesday 6th April (straight after Easter) ie a week tomorrow, and any that arrive with me after that time I'll post on to whomever has the parcel at that time.

    Hi all.

    Steve I got the seeds off to you in a jiffy bag today. Should be with you by Friday latest. Seeds have been put into envelopes if previously opened (within the last week so fresh as), named, date opened, a few instructions from the back of their packs. Enough details so people know what they are and the best way to use them anyway.

    Seeing as I now have about 500 pots (no lie - an over generous freecycler) and a spade on loan (wahay), I can now take things outside and plant straight out, I could join in on the parcel. It would need to reach me in about 3 weeks though - so if you want another on the list, pop me in somewhere near the end :)

    I will sort all my seeds to put into parcel over Easter and have the envelopes ready for any i take out, so when it gets to me it will be on its way to the next person quite quickly,

    How are we to tell who is next ,do we ask for addresses or is there a list in parcel :cnfs:

    Its best to send your address to the person to the person before you on the list so they have it ready to send the parcel to you. The member list for the parcel is in the first post of this topic.

    I think we have waited long enough, I'll get it posted out tomorrow morning. If Maddies seeds do arrive I'll post them on to whomever has the parcel at that time. Time marches on and we'll all want to get our seeds in.

    Steve...:)
