Do what you can, DJ - preferably the unusual ones. Don't worry too much - there'll be plenty of seeds coming back for us all.

I will need to get them in the post by Monday since we're isolating before Christmas. I'm slow but making progress!
DJ, I admit I didn't make envelopes , I bought little sealing plastic bags with strips for writing on. I'm very impressed with all the pretty envelopes though, but whether I'll make them next year remains to be seen.

I like the pretty envelopes too but years ago I bought a job lot of plastic envelopes and I still have some left. I put loose labels inside the envelope so they can be reused.

Mine will all be recycled or reused in some way. I have some small plastic bags from various places, but I'm working on some envelopes now. Not pretty, I'm afraid.
I'll try to choose the less common tomatoes. I have a few marked that JJB expressed interest in. If anything else is particularly of interest, do let me know and I'll try to include those. I'm thinking not Marmande and Roma

Another Bumper bundle of seeds has arrived from Far End Woman - Thank you.
As an extra bonus - Frank didn't notice your stamp so you'll be getting your envelope back again.

Hands up who else is sending seeds please?
Plenty to share. If more than 11 people want to swap I'll do some splitting of packets - so, don't be shy, come and join us.

I am gonna try making some, but I also bought loads of mini bags that I am using up, so mine will likely be going in there x

Thank you for thinking of me DJ, appreciated, I remember putting dibs on some, but not what they were, I'm off to re-read this thread.
