Charlie,
We joined the RHS this summer, we got the annual offer of seeds and
made our selection. It's not clear whether one normally gets all the
seeds one requests. Does one normally get what one requests or is it
more of a lottery?

The sooner you send in, the more likely you are to get what you asked
for, but yes, it is a bit of a lottery. Some seeds may be in short
supply this year due to the dry summer.

Report when you get yours and I will do the same..........
also any others who have sent in?

It seems to depend on how early you get your request in. If you're quite
early on - late November or early December - you get most of your first
choices. If you've recently made your selection, I would guess that
you'd still get the majority and that the rest will be made up from your
reserves.

They take quite a time to come though - about February, I seem to remember.
