Thanks Tina, that's what I thought.
They are small packets sizes, so hope they are fresh or whatever it takes for good germination.

Speaking of seed & sowing, has anyone ordered seed here: http://www.cactus-nursery.eu ?

I have, for testing purposes, together with their 'seed germination enhancer' and I'm hoping to compare my (not so good) test results with someone else's...

If you use Facebook, contact with Jan Novak, faster than email:) , as i see this list belongs to him and his collegues.
I bought 3 times from him and everything was fine, faster than the other Czech sellers. You can have a try.

Standard. Can be a month or three before the seeds arrive.

I could say I haven't ordered any seeds yet. I've sown quite a few pots of my own seed or seed acquired through swaps and friends, but not actually paid over money for any this year.

However ... I have the BCSS list in front of me. I don't know if it is just me, but there is a lot of stuff on there that I fancy. Usually I find maybe five or ten things that I want, occasionally nothing at all, but this year it looks like a lot more than ten. I have to start washing pots and making space!

Don’t do what I did when I ordered from him and ordered packets instead of seeds, i.e. 50 packets of seeds instead of 50 seeds. The bill would have come to close to €5,000 if he hadn’t contacted me to ask if I had entered the amounts correctly.
