Re: SilverHill Seeds
Im so sorry to say their murder was confirmed 29th March and their bodies dumped in the Tugela river. They have yet to be found.

Re: SilverHill Seeds
I fear this hideous story is nearing its end: https://northernnatalcourier.co.za/8242 ... confirmed/
Given the amount they contributed, and the manner of their sad deaths, I would like to see the Society acknowledging them in some way, to keep their names and memory alive. Would that be a popular idea?

Re: SilverHill Seeds
Absolutely devastating, what a waste. Only used SilverHill a few months ago and they were brilliant.

Re: SilverHill Seeds
I understood today that the Silverhill seed business will be carried over to their (grand)children? Don't know how accurate this news might be. Anyone can confirm?
Re: SilverHill Seeds
Interesting, where did you hear that Aiko?
