I gave this memory of a conversation about putting some seeds in a safe place for next year. Now where on earth did I decide was a safe place?

Please be careful about how you handle these Russian varieties. Who knows what additives the seeds may have been treated with!

I’m away Easter weekend, are we allowed to plant a few days late?

I bought pretty much everything except sunflower seeds yesterday! I might have some leftover from last year or the year before, so I don't hold out much hope.

I think I will pit my seeds bought for growing against the ones in the bird seed, just for interest.

My packet of magic beans was out of date!!! I'm desperately awaiting the arrival of a replacement.
