Mine are sown! quicker than ever before, as well as some Chadwell seeds from a hugely generous Forumist and today the AGS seeds arrived. Grateful thanks to Diane and her team. Did someone say "Oh, so many seeds?"

My seeds came today. But lack the extra purchased seeds. Will the extra shipped?

Yes Peter.  The surplus seeds are not shipped with the main allocation seeds.
As it states in the Seed Exchange notes, the main allocation seeds for everyone are picked BEFORE any surplus seeds. So the surplus are send at a different time.

After 4 full days I'm horrified that nothing has germinated yet.

I like those packing pictures, especially the last one. It looks like some kind of mass piano recital.

Hello. Recently rejoined the SRGC after a long hiatus. Fortunately in time to put in requests to the seed exchange. Seeds arrived this morning with enough firsts to make me very pleased indeed, and also impressed by the way that, when making up my 21 from things not on my choices, someone has clearly inferred my tastes - several unexpected but very welcome frits. Many strong and often coarse words of delight spoken while decoding the numbers, and much gratitude to the seed team.

Aw Harry, those Seedy folks are all about spreading joy!
Welcome to the Forum and back to the SRGC too.

Major dissapointment. Even though I donated seeds which appeared in the seed list, I only received 16 packets. And of course not even one japanese hepatica which I was so much hoping to get.

The note "please consider donating some seed next year" did not make me very happy either.
I wonder if I placed my online order correctly...

[Maggi Young]

Razvan, I have just checked and your online order was placed perfectly. It also registers your donor status.
 Something appears to have gone amiss in the picking of your order... even allowing for the number of bulbs you asked for,  it should certianly have been possible to send you 25 packets  of seed. 

I will make enquiries of Ian B. to see what might be done.

[razvan chisu]

Thank you Maggy
You are always so quick and kind.

Hi Folks,
A happy New Year to you all.
I may be panicking prematurely but I submitted my seed order online by return. I spoke to a friend (a non donor) today who sent in his order weeks later and got his seeds on Monday. No sign of mine so far. To my shame I wasn't a donor last year but I am surprised that my order hasn't yet arrived. I appreciate the great work that everyone involved in the seed distribution does so this is not a complaint, rather a gentle query to establish if my seeds have been dispatched. Thank you.

Hi Billy, welcome to the forum, good to see you have started  posting here.

[Maggi Young]

Hello Billy, good to see you! 
It looks as though all went well with your online request.
I  notice there is no "e"  at the end of moor in the emaill address you used for the seed ex. but that shouldn't have mattered.
I will pass your query to Ian B.

[billymoore]

Thanks Maggi. There is not meant to be an 'e' in my gmail address.
All the best to you and Ian.
