I don't suppose they do, but at least they are available when you want them,
IE, a month ago.

We received our RHS seeds a month ago. Pam is unlucky.

I'd like RHS seed ordering to be a bit more user friendly, downloading a
huge pdf etc. Why can't they automate it a bit so it's all online and
simple? Although it was a prime motivation for joining, I gave up as it was
too much hassle.

Is anyone else, like me, still waiting for their RHS seeds?

Er, well they have! I ordered mine on line and have a nice neat printout
of the seeds order to show me what I haven't yet received, so it didn't
sped up the despatch process!

I tried looking for that in November and all there was was a pdf.

The ground isn't warm enough yet anyway where we live (Suffolk), and with a
return to winter conditions over the next few days, just as well they
weren't sown a couple of weeks ago for the frost to kill them off.

Janet, what date is your acknowledgement? Mine is 3rd Jan. Don't know
whether to phone or not. They have never been this late before.

Pam in Bristol

have received my RHS seeds last week, and just checked to see when i put my order in , it was the 5th December.

b&q! dont think they sell seeds of Kirengeshoma palmata somehow...

have you heard of the Hardy Plant Society seed swap?

if you collect some seed from your own garden and send it to them, they will in return send a comprhensive list too choose from, from memory it was about 20 packets you can receive for a nominal charge, and if you donate, you get an extra 10 choices. The range is as 'colourful' as the RHS, yet as you are relying on the other members to correctly identify the parent plant, there is the possibility of some surprises!

Will have a look at the receipt Pam. I am worried because many of the
seeds need fairly fresh sowing.

Some of the naming can be a bit obtuse as well but I received about
50packets this year as I always send off for the free packets as well.
They come very early and are already growing away so it's just a shame
that the RHS is so late this year.
