LoraB, its just as easy to send from US, our customs dont demand phyto or declaration on seeds just the latin name on the seedpack (not envelope) if they open and check
The only seeds you need phyto and declaration and permitte for is Prunus, grasses and veggieseeds and the spieces on the CITES list (UN:s Endangered spieces list)
Now why dont I live on the weast coast would only have taken around 1 1/2 hour to meet up with you. Hope you have lot of fun in Denmark

MyRee. look what I made for all my seedling so they are safe from our iron nights that usually occur May-Jun. Its 11 ft long and 3 ft wide. For now I just laid the glas on top. will cut them later and make frames for them so the are easier to have standing open on really hot days.
I also got 250 cubic ft of top quality soil. its so good that I dont even have to furtilise/mulch it this summer.
The neighboring gas station have spilled out petrol and diesel for years and two other companies(local) have been making the cleanup after them.
The guy in charge of the restorating landscaping that I made friends with told me that this was the best soil he ever worked with during all the years, so I directly ordered as much as I at this time could afford and he made sure that I got the same soil.
The best part! The guy who owns the truck company and deliver the soil had so much to do (worked 12 hours a day) that I had to waite almost two weeks for him to deliver so I got a big discount. It should have cost 2000 Skr but I got it for 1200 Skr thats about 150 $ incl. delivery :0))
I am having so much fun with making flowerbeds and planting with all this soil and this frontyard have only been used as a graveld parking space.
This is the old wobblly walkway and the coldframe and a shallow flowerbed and a pice of the "to be" patio. Moved all the slabs out to the sun and also a tiny bit of one of the soilmounts I have.
