As per the previous notice, a large batch of seed was lost by the Royal Mail for a considerable amount of time. It was eventually found and arrived the day before we had to finalise the list for printing. Without them the seed list would have been considerably shorter so I took the decision to keep them on it.

That together with the usually last minute mesemb seed from Steve Hammer means that the seed counters have been struggling to get everything counted out. We are now down to just a handful of mesemb seed however its all in capsules and is the really fine stuff. My counters have all complained its too small and tricky so these last items are down to me to count. Sadly I'm too busy until the 20th so it's going to be late Jan before orders start going out.

Thanks to help from Allan Armitage and the other seed counters, we are now almost ready for the seed distribution.

I expect to deliver it to the seed distributer on Monday so distribution should start sometime this week.
