Haven't seen my envelope yet, which isn't surprising, since the mail can get slow this time of the year.

The aftermath of all the Christmas cards and presents. some are still stuck in the system.

A friend had sent me a present to an old address. It was mailed in the U.S. early December. I received it today, after the postal system did a valiant job to re-route it to my current address (one of my current addresses ...)

So no worries if Tormato got my address wrong - our mailmen are smart. haha!

They’re here, they’re here, they’re here!!! Digging through that pile of seeds was sooo much fun!! There are so many goodies - a tomato variety I thought I’d never see arrived in special gift wrapping, along with so many other tomatoes from my wish list, a bunch of other must-grows, enough other varieties to keep me busy researching for a good long while and I’m sure make it nearly impossible to decide which to grow first! Plus herbs from a non-tomato wish list, rapini, cabbage, oodles of peppers, and beans, beans, beans - short ones, tall ones, adorably small beans, jumbo beans, striped, solid and polka dotted beans, I can’t wait to see them all grow!! Thank you everyone for sharing your seeds, and thank you [mention]Tormato[/mention] for sorting through all of them and everything you do so our garden realities can be even better than we dreamt!

:D

Oh my golly, Oh my gosh, I am completely overwhelmed. What am i to do ? The parcel came today, busting at the seams. I tore it open and splayed out the packets onto my kitchen worktop and could not believe my eyes. Seeds of so many varieties, so very exciting and peppers and chillies too. Oh me oh my.

Gary, Thank you, this is a wonderful surprise and must have taken you so long to pull together everyones packages. And Dolly too and my favorite name "Miss Scarlet......" in full - made me laugh. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now what the blooming heck do i do now ??????

And to everyone else, thank you for playing your part in the MMMM, with such an amazing variety of seeds. There are so many here i hoped to one day get to grow and now i have them....where do i start.....

thank you all, and a big thank you to you gary!

That looks like the solution. Don't watch the pot til it boils, relax and packages should get there.

What are you to do?

Get yourself to a pub. Go single, leaving Dolly at home. Tape the rest of the seed packets to a dart board. Get yourself enough darts equal to the numbers of spaces for plants in your garden, and start tossing.

Well, what did I see today? A nice Christmas card with some wonderful illegal imported stuff...
(I am grateful the customs did not open it...)

All these goodies! wow. Thanks for the abundance, and may your seed stash never run dry.

greenthumbomaha hasn't been onsite since late March, as I think she was having trouble getting on the site with password issues. TV may be the place to contact her...

Flowers it is. I get to clean house with my bucket-o-flowers. Some tomato varieties may somehow fall into the package.
