Looking forward to your tomato post :)<BR/><BR/>Nancy - yes it is - the garlic and early onions are in, most of the seed order's done and all's well with the world apart from the digging!<BR/><BR/>Anna - interesting to hear how it worked from the admin point of view. I don't think ours has to put them on a master list, which would make it far less work than you had to do.<BR/><BR/>Frances - that's just the kind of thing I do, add a few more things for good measure ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-29261159780063475142008-12-05T21:16:00.000+00:002008-12-05T21:16:00.000+00:00Hi VP, so fun to think about the spring and seeds....Hi VP, so fun to think about the spring and seeds. I succumbed to the dreariness here on a rainy day and placed my order also, free shipping so I ordered a heat mat kit to help keep the baby seeds warm. I will post about what was ordered later.<BR/><BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-20503637111329326262008-12-05T17:10:00.000+00:002008-12-05T17:10:00.000+00:00Wot no sprouts:) What a civilised and productive w...Wot no sprouts:) What a civilised and productive way of passing time. Our garden club used to participate in a seed discount scheme with Dobies and I was the bod who collected orders, monies etc. Unfortunately I had to collate every individual order onto a master order form which just became too time consuming in the end. The system may well have changed by now. In terms of saving pennies it was certainly well worth it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-42283055707578411742008-12-05T12:59:00.000+00:002008-12-05T12:59:00.000+00:00How great to have next year's garden underway alre...How great to have next year's garden underway already. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-79225559077481511062008-12-05T12:35:00.000+00:002008-12-05T12:35:00.000+00:00I got my HPS list last night - very excited.

The conversational threads must have been fun!<BR/><BR/>I don't know if the MIddle TN Perennial Plant Society (my only garden club membership) offers such a good deal...40% off is very nice! We do have great meetings, garden tours, field trips to botanical gardens and members give their extra plants away before the meeting. Not bad.<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-54885543424448938082008-12-05T11:24:00.000+00:002008-12-05T11:24:00.000+00:00I've been waiting almost 5 years for an allotment ...I've been waiting almost 5 years for an allotment now, I have all but given up on the idea. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I will get that suprise phone call too!Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725740035246396812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-60980548857879205212008-12-05T09:08:00.000+00:002008-12-05T09:08:00.000+00:00Lucy - I woke up this morning thinking exactly the...Lucy - I woke up this morning thinking exactly the same thing about expanding land.
