    I was so excited when the post came today..:th scifD36:

    My American friend sent me 11 packets of seeds,:yay: and I got an envelope with £15 of vouchers,:yes: I applied at my local garden centre to have a loyalty card. I found out that they had logged my house number wrong, and a neighbour up the road got my vouchers,:nonofinger: so as a good will gesture they made up my vouchers up the £15.:wow: So I cannot wait to spend that.:whistle:

            That sounds like a delightful mix of seeds, liliana; can't wait to see pictures next year! Was it a seed swap? Or a very kind hearted friend across the pond?

              It was a seed swap, I have done 2 swaps this year, with the website, and I have another site that I do regular swops. :yay:

                  Update:
                  I went to my local Wyevale G C, to 'spend' my vouchers.:yay:

                  For My £15 of vouchers, I got the following:

                  3 Bags Compost

                  1 large bag Pot Pourri

                  Seed Packets:-

                  Hispi - Cabbage
                  Celeriac - Monarch
                  Oregano
                  Penny Royal
                  Rhubarb Chard
                  Swiss Chard
                  Pumpkin - Windsor
                  Runner Beans - Enorma

                  Total should have been £36, used all my vouchers. Not a bad days, I think. :yes:
