MSG seed ordering instructions
My MSG bulletin just arrived. Great seed list with a full page of 'terms and conditions' for ordering but no actual instructions for doing so. I might just be being dense but if anyone has this info perhaps they could post it here?

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
Have you sent in your email address? If so, you'll get an email, most likely today, with a spreadsheet and instructions. Otherwise you'll be doing it the traditional way with a piece of paper, an envelope, and a stamp.

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
Hi Iann. No I didn't. But I can't order on paper either as they have not included an address or payment details....
Have emailed to enquire.

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
The list was done a bit last-minute to be squeezed into the late 2021/4 bulletin rather than the 2022/1 bulletin which it would normally be in, so maybe a few details got lost in translation. I've pm'd you the instructions, but now that you've made contact you'll probably get all the email details anyway.

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
I thought the same thing when the journal arrived, but the email came a couple of hours after the post lady, so I’m sorted.
The spreadsheet was very easy to use, easier even than the ADBLPS one. Great job!

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
ADBLPS is great on the whole, but the ordering form of ADBLPS can be a bit easier and more user friendly. MSG and Succulenta and some of the Czechs do this easier, by showing the list of species available and the corresponding column to enter what you want and how much you want in the same sheet.Cidermanrolls wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 7:30 pm The spreadsheet was very easy to use, easier even than the ADBLPS one.

But I guess the process of actually making the list is probably easier how ADBLPS does it, with so many species offered. I do wonder how that process goes, really...

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
The Seed List in the Bulletin should have contained the full instructions. I haven’t got my Bulletin yet so can’t comment further. Maybe part of my document list was excluded from the Seed List due to the last minute rush. Anyone with a problem can email me on
MSGSeedOrders@outlook.com
I’m pretty busy with a deluge of orders so may not reply immediately!

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
Bulletin did contain full page of notes - 13 items, but didn't include note about postal orders that was with the email you sent out. I actually got my bulletin delivered about an hour before the emailRoatavator wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 11:05 am The Seed List in the Bulletin should have contained the full instructions.

Re: MSG seed ordering instructions
It was a special edition with a puzzle to solve: Peter's postal address is in the bulletin!
