apologies if this has been posted before, did a search but didn't seem to come up!
Certain NT properties are giving away free seeds. I went to hughenden manor near high Wycombe today and picked up 9 purple French bean seeds, but could have had borlotti, painted lady runner & some other type of french bean in a packet. I think the seed changes each month - and if you were to go back when the first person you saw is on their break............ :happy: They just wanted a postcard with addy on (not compulsory though) as they'll write to a subsample for the magazine. They had free recipes and growing guides for beginners. As I have a membership card it cost me nowt extra, so to speak!
