Diane, if you have a printer linked to your computer, you can just click on tools at the top of the page, click on print, and it will print out for you, you don't need to copy out by hand, [bit hard if you don't have a printer though],
hope this has helped, Derek.

That's a good tip Diane, and thank you for mentioning it.
I must remember to write when I bought my seeds. I never know how old they are.
Useful information too ...
We haven't got much snow left now. We didn't have much to start with, and it's all thawing nicely ... could be quicker lol ... but as long as it's thawing I'm happy :D
