Hi All,

This is an extract of an email Lowood sent me yesterday

"Hi Paul

Went up to check the seed this morning and it is at the perfect stage for heading, unfortunately the ground is still too wet to get the header on.

We will check it again on Friday but if it is still too wet, then the seed will be too ripe to harvest as milk seed.

He will plant again but of course it will take 8-10 weeks before being ready.

Will talk to you later in the week with another update.

Regards Wendy"


So by the weekend we will definately know if we can get any green seed from this batch....otherwise we will have to wait 8-10 weeks.

If the green seed ripens too much before they are able to harvest I will assume that everyone will want to keep their orders for the second batch (unless you advise otherwise)....cheers, Paul

Hi All,

I recevied an email from Wendy Lowe 5 minutes ago advising that they were going to attempt to harvest in 1 hour.....maybe the weather Gods are looking out for us

Cheers,
Paul

GREAT NEWS FOLKS.....RAY & WENDY HAVE HARVESTED THE SEED AND OUR SEED WILL BE DELIVERED!!!!!!

The seed is expected to be ready for shipment on the 28th or 29th of Feb.....so I will aim for delivery to Thornbury by Saturday 3/3...but I will confirm this early next week.

On the weekend I will PM each of those who ordered seed their cost and my banking details and address/contact details. I will need to send payment to Lowood by mid next week. On Monday I will confirm all the freight and storage arrangements.
