The first batch of orders was posted on Saturday, 2nd class post, so may take a few days to arrive. Another batch is due to be posted today. This is a rest day - the room at Threave is being used by another group. I think everyone is quite glad of a day off, they have all worked hard. We have had 15 or 16 people in each day to help - friends and neighbours have volunteered to help us. So you have a lot of non-members (even some non-gardeners!) to thank for their hard work. We have kept them all plied with tea and cakes!

Seeds arrived this morning. Thanks team and it was very useful to have the name of the seeds already printed.

My seed arrived today also, currently being soaked overnight prior to sowing (cyclamen).  My thanks to the hard working team, well done!

That will save time when they are checked by our Customs Service - when they get to this side of the world!

And another innovation is a printed list for customs, which can now be produced with relatively little effort.

Yes, a move forward from the previous system using a "SeedLister programme" is now developed by the Seed Team.

I received my seed today. I would like to thank all the volunteers who worked on this collection, sorting and distribution. Bravo to all of you.

Also in Denmark, and they have been sowed right away :)

It was much easier with the new labels, thank you very much!
