I have decided to raise some money for Permies with my seeds this year. Normally I just ask people to `pass it forwards` but this time I want PIE!
For people in the UK, I`ll send up to three packets of seed in exchange for a slice of Permies Pie. For people in the rest of the world: one slice gives you one packet, a second gets you up to three more. Since the seeds are only available in limited quantities, purple moosage me with your request (and snail mail address to send to) first, so I can check whether I have seed left for you.
Please be aware if you are outside of the UK there may be problems with restrictions on your country allowing imports of seeds, so any loss in transit is at your risk.

To learn about Permies Pie: click on Pie wiki, to buy pie to send: click on buy Pie

I have these seeds available in limited quantities (first come first served):

Glad you got them safely, hope they do OK.
Actually that was a bit longer than I expected.  The ones I sent trans-Atlantic (shush!) were quicker than that.

The post service here is terrible so it's amazing they even made it. I got half a letter a couple of weeks ago, including my new residency card. it had a scrawled note on it saying "already damaged" and that was it.

I've still got some seeds left. Some of them could do with winter stratification, so I may use them myself if noone else does.

pm me if you can't afford pie, I'd rather see them go to good homes than stay here.
