Moles are great, but only if you need quantity, (and quality). Ideal for sharing!!!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks DD, this "sharing" is perhaps where I miss out, I have a large garden but it is at home so I have not got into the "garden community" in the way that allotment people do. My loss there I guess although it does have some advantages such as power and water to hand, better security, easy to spend 10 minutes on the plot or to pick stuff within a minute of it going in the pan.
Thanks for the info on Moles I will give them a try

As a price comparison, for F1 Lark, Moles cost is £5.05 for 1,000 seed, post paid.

T & M are £1.99 for 30 plus postage. Pro rata 30 from Moles would cost just over 15p and 1000 from T & M would be ove £66!!!!!!!!!!

I used the Swap Shop & recycle forum to share out some club root resistant cauli seed last year that I got from Moles & even with folk paying for a stamp on top it was far, far cheaper to go to Moles.

This would be the same for most seed, but it would be a logistical nightmare to orgainise, just one was bad enough!

So you're the one
I have just ben sent a substitute of Lark F1 because my supplier says there is a national shortage of Swift F1.


Oh dear, I'm sorry you missed out on the Swift, Richard. I only bought their smallest package, I'm sure I did.
If you really are set on Swift (as was I) then I'll gladly send you some of mine.
I only have a back garden too at the mo, so I'm sure there's enough left for us to share  :)

much appreciated but I'm fine, I had a few Swift from last year that did very well plus some others so the Lark will be a good one to try for me just for comparisons. Luckily I have room to spread my sweet corn blocks around the garden and keep the F1s away from the others
Thanks anyway

I don't expect to see anything for a day or two yet, we are supposed to be a 2 day postal service but in truth this is variable  :ohmy:

Typical, you type something out and the Post Office go and deliver the stuff  :blush:



Many thanks, will get them started but not sure how well they will do up here, I will plant them in as sheltered a spot as I can, but not all plants like a windy maritime environment.
