Anyway here is some feedback from our correspondents:

"omgolly i will so use your aDVISE ABOUT HERBS THANKYOU"

"Many thanks for taking the time to help the learner gardners & questioners, it is greatly appreciated!"

"We picked up our mail late Thursday (my husband had taken me over the border into SA for dinner and a movie for my birthday) and, tucked into our post office box was a bag from Scotsburn - good timing!
I was so excited I tore open the package (you need teeth on those satchels....) right then and there, at 9pm, under the streetlight outside the post office.  
What a magnificent trowel! - it will last through my lifetime and be inherited by my gardening daughter.  It has a wonderful grip and balance - superior quality to anything I've used before and I'm delighted with it!
The gloves are something else, too - have never seen anything like that fabric before and both pairs fit, although my husband was casting envious glances at the larger pair - I might let him try them in return for some digging out of couch grass......"
 

"Thank you again for your kind and generous donation.  To be honest, I was teary when I saw all those booming healthy plants and to deliver them too... it was wonderful."

"Hi Peter

I am loving the Blogs. I have never been a part of a blog before"

"Wonderful stuff - I enjoy the first as well as this one - keep them coming please !"

"Hi Pete,

just saying thanks for the current news letter, dont always get time to get those great gardening books out but great when you let us know what to do etc this time of year, also send your letter to hubbys work so he can read as well."

By the way I promise that I will never pass your contact details on to anyone else without first asking for your permission.
