Alot of us may remember this last summer, and if you are new to the Vine you might not.
Two_Sheds generously started up 2 seed parcels, the idea of which was to pass it around the Vine, with everyone taking some seeds and putting more back than they took and then sending it on to the next person
We had one go astray permanently, but other Grapes valiantly donated seeds and we have ended up with several doing the Rounds.
So, firstly, a HUGE thanks to Two_Sheds again for starting this.
Since last year, when we were trying to trace the whereabouts of the parcels, Finedon Dandy has been quietly and very efficiently running this chaos, with hardly so much as a by your leave [whatever that means].
Now, Finedon is heavily pregnant with twins, and with 2 little ones running around, and a hubby to look after; she had sadly decided that much as she would love to carry on, she needs to focus her attentions to little people [no Stacey, not Gnomes - the kids].
I am going to take this over, and will be in contact with Grapes who have expressed an interest; and will restart a thread on this topic soon - so anyone wanting to go onto the list [you will be put at the end and the parcel will come to you in turn] please PM me to be added.
But - I couldn't let this just pass by without saying a humumgous thank you very much Finedon Dandy.
Along the way, Lynda66, Tricky and Shortie and possibly others that I don't know about have also made up parcels, which means we have several floating about the country [and abroad] so a huge thanks to them for donating seeds.
I am sure ALL grapes who have successfully had the parcels would like to thank Two_Sheds, Finedon Dandy, Lynda, Tricky and Shortie for their generosity and work on this, plus all the Grapes who had the parcel before them for diligently swapping and passing seeds on.
Give yourselves and each other a BIG round of applause; what seemed to go so wrong was very quickly turned around and was a great success.
If anyone wants to donate seeds for additional parcels, so that we can get more on the go, please let me know. I'll collect and combine and send it on its merry way.
So, if you are on the list, I'll be in touch.
Over and out
