        Rary, ordered mine from Dobies last month as part of a larger order. Everything besides the Crapaudine arrived within four days. Still waiting for the beetroot. I spoke to them last week and they said that since the Masterchef programme, they have been inundated with requests for the seeds. My new date is 18th May. I'm not a happy bunny.

          Yes same thing happen to me, ordered about same time as you Rary but I got told it might be June before they arrive. I perhaps mentioned to them that it was a bit unacceptable, figurative shrug of shoulders at other end of line, cancelled order.

              You're welcome. Please note that I'm sending them to you despite what you did to us in the Calcutta Cup.

                      That'll save you watering them then.

                          I'm with you there rary .
                          If you have to do it more often than that, you start worrying there's going to be a drought

                            Sowed mine today. I hadn't realised they were such a trending veg, don't watch Masterchef - I usually run the opposite way to any trends, but it does explain why they arrived a week after the other seeds I ordered.
