RE: 2021 Seed Swap Circle - JJB - 13-11-2021
I think it a good bog standard patio tom. The reviews rave about flavour, it was better than some but succumbed to blight after the heavy rains so didn't get to mature as well I would have like, as did all the others on the patio. Yes I would give it another chance. So you're probably gonna get it stuffed in the pkg seeing as it's bagged and labelled

FarEndWoman - your seeds have arrived and, it was the kind postman who delivered it - not Frank.
Thanks for putting them in sets too.
RE: 2021 Seed Swap Circle - JJB - 16-11-2021
Looking to send seeds to V, hoped to use the box SC sent to me last year, hoped to enclose required 2 large letter stamps.
Reality set in. Saved box in such a careful secret place that I can't find it, also got no stamps.
What's the phrase 'planning and preparation prevents poor performance ' you're lucky to get any performance, good or poor, in this house
Started stapling seeds onto A4 paper to keep them together in batches, found the beans made it far too thick as I needed 2 pages of A4 to house seeds, found another box so unstapled all I'd done, all seeds now muddled. Read post ^^^ and now feel guilty so will sort the seeds into batchs to give V a fighting chance.
Three hours later still no further forward
Such is life.

Don't struggle to put them in sets, Jen, I can do it. I have others to shuffle.
I'm not going to mention that FEW has put her seed sets in little envelopes to make it easy for me...............................Sorry, I said I wasn't going to mention that.
RE: 2021 Seed Swap Circle - JJB - 16-11-2021
You just want me to stress and go on a guilt trip!! I do feel dementia is setting in.... I wish I knew where I put the box :d I will sort them .....eventually, even if it's just to write a list of what I've sent, so I remember next year, that is if can remember where I've written it.

I'll be sending my seeds soon, coming to the end of reinsulating another roof space, even worse than the previous one. Estimated half a ton of rubble and twenty Henry bags of dust. Reckon my envelope can get there and back without being franked for a third time?

Sounds like the stuff of nightmares, TMTT!!
I'll have a word with Frank again, he's still around. I think he's been good to FEW a couple of times too.

the envelope I sent the seeds in was the one I used last time - it went from me to Veggie, then back to me, then off to Veggie again.
It’ll be interesting to see if Frank steps in on the return journey.
RE: 2021 Seed Swap Circle - Veggie - 17-11-2021
I thought I recognised the envelope.
If we could put your address on one side and mine on the other we could keep reusing it without having to stick over the address each time. Do you think Frank could cope with that?
