Anyone else not got their HSL seeds yet?

[Seahorse]

There seems to be some sort of black hole between me and the HSL I had to 'ask again' for both my joining pack and my seed catalogue. I know they have all my details right because we've checked and double checked at both ends. I haven't recieved my seeds yet but am a bit reluctant to make a fuss if others are stil waiting too. On the other hand, if everyone else has had theirs, I don't want to sit here like a nelly waiting for something that may never arrives!

I'm still waiting, but I think I was late sending the request (2-3 weeks ago).

[Seahorse]

Thanks HW, I can't remember exactly when I sent mine but it was definitely after Christmas, so I'll wait a while yet.

[TonyF]

I sent mine in between Xmas and NY and I'm still waiting for mine also.

[seasprout]

Seahorse, give them a ring. I know there has been a problem with the PO box they were using.

Might not have affected you, but you want to start sowing soon..!

[Seahorse]

Oh... hmm, maybe not just me and a phantom black hole then! I'll give them a buzz tomorrow. Thanks seasprout.

I'm so glad someone had the nerve to ask this!!

[kentvegplot]

I sent my request 4th Jan, so will have to wait until Friday for the 28 days to elapse which they suggest to allow for delivery. Getting a bit anxious though...

Be brave, Becki!! We're all friendly and no-one can possibly know everything, but the odds are that someone on the Vine will have an answer. I particularly hate abbreviations and acronyms (I have to cope with so many at work and you do feel a bit silly if you don't know what they stand for) I've now made myself a rule - if I don't know what it means then I ask the person who used the term (politely) what it means. I've found many people at meetings grateful that someone asked as none of them had any idea either, and were too nervous to say.

Just joined so I have no cataloque yet. Any interesting beans or peas ?

[Flummery]

Oh yes! I think if you join too late for this year they will send you extras next time. Lots of tall peas, some purple podded. Dwarf and climbing french beans. You'll have to screw your eyeballs back in! If they don't send you the catalogue (although I would have thought you might just squeak in for this year) let me know and I'll photocopy the relevant pages for you to dribble over in anticipation!
