Hi Guys & Girls....just opened my packet of toms and i was shocked to se there was  only 6 seeds in each packet   and they was £4.99 each packet  
they are UNWINS Grow sure.....Pannovy, they say they are high yields.....
lets hope they are at that price...anyone grown this type before

just did a search for you, theres only 3 topics with that name mentioned - but they would be no use to you.

didnt you check how many seeds you'd get before you bought them?

[DD.]

There are a few places you can get them from still, (I obviously did a different search), Amazon being one of them, but oddly enough not Unwins, so they seem to be discontinued.

We had this discussion recently in the same vein regarding cucumbers.

However, there is something you can do with tomatoes, that you can't with cucumbers. When you take the side shoots out, pop them in a pot of compost, and very soon you'll have a new plant - they root very easily and you can cut your losses.

The seed packet clearly shows 6 seeds.....so it's up to you whether you buy them or not

DD i did a site search not general one.

Thanks DD


yes now i've looked it says 6 seeds...these are the things we learn as we go along...i'll make sure i look next time...its just because all the other seeds i've got have had plenty in them i just expected the same we live and learn

Slightly off subject.....my daughter bought me some Brussels seeds. £2.99 for 15 F1 seeds from....you guessed it....Unwins. The De Rey packet had 200 seeds for 99p.......
Hmmmmm.....

Some more expensive seed are well worth it. For example Clapton F1 cauliflowers that will actually produce a curd despite club root. A lot of the seemingly better value brussels seed will produce less sprouts that are not blown.

Thanks for the info DD i always like to pay a bit more for things.....the old saying you get what you pay for 

[DD.]

I like to find the happy medium!

I'll gladly buy a packet of cucumber seed that says 4 for £6.99, but only in the Wyevale 50p end of year sale!

  lets hope the tom seeds was worth it.....i'll let you know how i get on with them

I've been given a load of unwins packets of seed - I like their confidence on the packets.

It says '6 plants', not 6 seeds!
