Yes, I will admit, my title was a bit inflammatory..but I hope to get the attention of a few more posters working with school children and instilling the idea and benefits of "growing your own".
At the end of my post regarding "never, never, never.." ordering seeds after indulging in wine I asked for an individual involved with a school group to contact me so that I might send my unused seed packets to their project.
I was fortunate enough to be contacted by two rather wonderful forum members who both expressed an interest. They will both be receiving a parcel of seeds and a financial contribution. Understand when I say "financial contribution" I'm not speaking of building a wing on a building, its small, pathetic really, but its something.
My budget allows me to do this for a few other school projects if there is a need. I understand that in this time of budget crunching each of use needs to look at what we can do for the projects that we deem important and this is important to me.
Sooo...I'm looking for a few more of you to give me a few more school names that might make use of a contribution.
The only thing I require is that the donation goes to the actual project, the children growing seed. The reason for this is that I donated a not small sum to a group last year and received an invitation and thank you as the sponsor for a rather indulgent event for the program's supervisors...nothing went to the children

...and as an aside thank you to the members here who told me to keep the faith regarding spring onions. Directly sowed into the garden they are actually looking as if they may produce. Gardening is best when it produces those small victories
