Thanks again Sarah x

The Show is responsible for my ever-expanding collection of seeds: when I see a lovely photo of something I go out and buy some

Also, could I say thank you (this is starting to sound like the Oscars) to all those who contribute to the Seed Swaps ~ a lot of my 'winners' came from you Grapes

[bearded bloke]

Yep well done ALL

BIG THANKS to the mods for all the time & effort putting this together & to all those that voted for my efforts
