Jim, 

can you do that here (UK).  I had always thought you couldn't bring
seeds in, I guess this is based on the fact that you can't take them
into NZ.  I suppose people bring plants in from Holland all the time
(sorry, the Netherlands).  I couldn't even pursuade my mother to bring
Watties Pumpkin soup into the country, although she did bring Giant
Jaffas for the (English) other half!  Now, anyone know how to get hold
of Pumpkin soup?  I can't even buy pumpkins in Cumbria (they even use
turnips for lanterns at halloween!).

My mouth is watering, where are those Minties!
