Yaaay!

Also willing to share a few if you end up over-subscribed (otherwise aiming to be self sufficient in saffron in a few short years...)

Nearly sorted.....

For those of you that want cultivation instructions, there is a complete guide to crocus saltiva here

Having gone through a lot of websites, and spoken to several nuseries, this does seem to cover the type of ideal conditions you will need to re-create.

I don't seem to be able to find addresses for Nanny, Leonie, Daydreaming and for Wellington Womble, they're almost certainly buried in my inbox somewhere, but to save me hours of hunting, could you all possibly PM me again?

There will be plenty left for MJ and Pilsbury

Pilsbury, had you down for 20, so that will be £2.80 please
MJ, do you want 30? That will be £4.20 of your finest pounds please m'am Will also need both of your addresses, pwetty pweeze.

Think that's all. If anyone has any questions, just shout!

Is it too late to ask for any ?

Mrs S. has stated that she would like to have a go at growing it. With an implied 'Why the hell didnt you order some ?'

Oh dear, poor you I will see if I have any left when I've divvied out the bags - 700 crocus bulbs look an awful lot to sort

Just read up how to grow it Whats the betting I am out for the day when it flowers (I say it because have a feeling it might compare to my pea cultivation rate this year...)

Do you want about 30 MarkS? That''ll be £4.20, and I'll need your address to send them too.

That leaves about 40 spare, so shout now if you'd like them, cost for 20 is £2.80, for all 40 is £5.60 (including P&P)

Please can I have addresses for Daydreaming, Wellington Womble, Pilsbury and Mary Jane....I'm going to the post office on Monday, and I'd rather not make more than one trip if at all possible - fank you

I've just been packing some up, and one of the jiffy bags I'm using looks like it may have been through quite a few Downsizers already - made me giggle (It's on it's way to you in Ireland now Callie, so make sure you pass it on to another Downsizer at an appropriate moment!)
