  January 18, 2017   One of the very very exciting moments of the year happened yesterday evening Thanks so much yet again to those amazing volunteer seed packers of the SRGC…and I’ll say it again this is a must for the perennial vegetable enthusiast….our numbers are increasing fast and there will soon be more of us than the ornamental enthusiasts

Nothing here yet but I don't expect for a couple of weeks what with postage and then inspection by MPI.
(They will be delighted with the labelled packets as pictured.) Hopefully I will have caught up with my own fresh seed sowing, though not the pleasantest task right now, gale force winds having blown the window out of my ancient potting shed.That was last weekend and the gales continue, with heavy rain as well. No REAL summer this year!

In the meantime, seed cleaning of this season's harvest is in full swing. A woman's work is never done.

Nice note from a member who was only able to order at the last minute ....

All Hail to Scottish Rock Garden Club, whose seed list I could not early order from, owing to sad circumstances, I took the list to Madeira at Christmas and made my seed choice while listening to Oliver Harris rehearse for a concert, ordered them online on 14th January, they arrived today, 19th January, with only three substitutions....thank you very much!

Here the same too and I hope for tomorrow.

And they really arrived  today:). I am really happy with it and all is just sown today. Thanks a lot to the whole team.
