    As the seeds are a 'buy now' item, you click to 'buy now' and on the next screen (or next but one?) it asks if you want to pay now or continue shopping with this seller? Just keep shopping (as long as you like!) and when you finally click on 'pay now' there should be a list of all the seeds you've just purchased and p&p at the end.

    Most of Dave's items say "Shipping outside the U.S. is $1.69 USD and each additional pack is only $0.05." - if you're worried email him (don't forget time difference), he's very nice. Oh and don't forget your free mystery pkt of seeds with each order!!!

      Thanks for the explanation, that sounds like I shouldn't have to pay $1.59 for every instance of different seeds bought together except for incremental value by 0.05 cents. Defo lots of plans from Dave seeds for next year but not much point in asking you to order 1 or 2 items for me (via yours) if it means unncessary postage between you and me. Not worth it, is it? Let me know sometimes what you're ordering, would love to hear your reports/opinions on them at the end of the year .

        Ladies,

        Back to the Lebanese marrow again... I was doing some search plus have been looking at the ref' link, apparently, some of them are vine type...do have a look before make any order regarding vine or bush habit. Most of them seems to be hybrid or or F1 even ( but not always stated)...
        All the best...

          SBP and Momol, just to let you know I ended up getting the Wilko ones today (after my two year old faked a coma on my suggestion that we go to the allotment! ). The good news is that there are loads more than the promised twelve, so plenty to go round but the sum total of info is 'Lebanese: Curcubita pepo', so no indication at all re bush/vine/F1 (or not) etc.
          I was feeling part of the scenery
          I walked right out of the machinery
          My heart going boom boom boom
          "Hey" he said "Grab your things
          I've come to take you home."

            What a news Seahorse ( see, momol is dancing and smiling...) . Did your 2 years old dislike allotment that much ?
            I used to be afraid of playing on the grass and under the trees when I was a kid but because I am afraid of worms and have very sensitive reactions to caterpilars ( the hairy ones are the worse).
            No worries about the growing habit just love to taste it, 2 seeds will do the trick for testing and will decide for next year... many thanks....

              I think it's just too cold for him at the minute. He did really well when it was a bit warmer and he could dig his own little patch. Hopefully he'll cheer up in the spring!

                I know, but the anticipation and the thought of cooking and eating em makes it soooo irresistable...but in the other hand it will be a suicide (or more assassin) if they are allow to be in soil now... will wait till april ( impatiently)....

                  He's not on his own there - how is a coma faked???

                          Oh, but not all kind, I was teasing you over your mix up of the words flue and flu

                          Lucky there's always the internet and seed sellers for when you can't sleep at night!

                              Lol Momol, no worries. I'm hoping to be similarly 'tired and emotional' later adfter a few sips of Burns' Night whisky

                                Hi All you Lebanese Courgette Lovers
                                I've got confused over who's got seeds and who hasn't
                                I've got a packet of Real Seeds Trieste White Half-Long Cousa Courgette and could spare 6 seeds if anyone wants them?
                                Also have 5 seeds left over from previous year - would think these were still OK?
                                I'm not growing those green ones this year, no where near as productive or tasty, although I couldn't resist experimenting with T & M's Black Forest - the Unique Climbing Courgette!

                                And re the Lebanese, don't plant it near the path like I did, it keeps on growing and growing and in the end it looked like mine had made a dash for it into next door's allotment, luckily a few "bungs" meant that they kindly allowed it to ramble over their plot as well.

                                Sue

                                best wishes
                                Sue
