Thankyou, we will give any seeds a go. Even if we don't like the end result, they are great for swapping or for gifts (once grown).

I've got quite a few veg and flower seeds, but unfortunately my veg side over powered the flowers and pressed the veg button darn.

Glad the link is useful for everyone, if i see any more i'll post them up for you. :)

Post by: Poolfield2 on January 12, 2009, 19:49
I'm struggling here folks, I don't NEED those seeds, I've got all this years seed already but I WANT them but it isn't environmentally sound to get them just because I can, especially if I waste them.

Life was so much easier when we didn't have to think about our impact on the world :roll:
Title: free pack of veg or flower seeds and 8packs free
Post by: allotmentnut on January 13, 2009, 02:34
Thanks Hectic, just signed up for the second lot of seeds.  

Poolfield2, I too have enough seeds for this year, however if they have a good date on them I will keep them for next year.  If not I will give them to someone on our allotments who needs them.
Title: free pack of veg or flower seeds and 8packs free
Post by: Ropster on January 13, 2009, 13:07
Thanks for the tip, I have signed up

Looks like the seeds are in ZipLock bags from the photo so probably need to be used this year
Title: free pack of veg or flower seeds and 8packs free
Post by: poultrygeist on January 13, 2009, 13:27
Cheers Hectic. Signed up. If we don't use any, we can always offer them on the Swap forum.

Or pass them on to friends and family.

Title: Re: free pack of veg or flower seeds and 8packs free
Post by: poultrygeist on February 02, 2009, 16:51
Had an email from them the other day saying they were sending out 100 packs ( :blink:) and were surprised at the response (you offer a freebie to the world and expect one man and his dog to reply!  ???), but they're going to get another 1000 packs I think they said.
Bit of an underestimate I'd say. :D

So don't hold your breath.

The 8 free packs? The sign up form has had a red message at the top:

Quote
Registration closed : Due to the great rate of sign up I have had to close registration for this year. We are looking for funding for next year when I hope to be able to provide even more people with seeds. Please feel free to add your details below ready for next years send.

since mid Jan so if you registered after that they I don't think they are sending more out until next year :(

Here some more free seeds on offer tho: http://www.britainonshow.co.uk/free_seeds_kit.php
