In the one in Croydon they piled all the seed on a large table and in large baskets around the table.

Between my two visits both short as one on the way to an appointment (10 minutes) and the other 15 minutes in a lunch time the pile had reduced dramatically.

Well I went and spent far more than I thought I was going to.  All bargains of course.  Got 37 seed packets, which means I now need a second seed box .

I managed to get to the York branch last weekend, all the packs were still on the displays so easy to look through them all. Came away with £78 worth of seeds for £14! 

So thats all of next years crops sorted, appart from seed potatoes!

I too am going to need another seed box

Im really sad I just spent an hour making a spreadsheet of the seeds I have in my box, brands, varieties their sowing, planting and harvesting schedules - think I need a drink lol - but it does look nice all colour coded, veg, herbs, flowers

Yep me too. It really helps to see what has worked and what hasn't and makes the planning easier and not overlooking that packet of seed that gets in whe it shouldn't be. And where there are the gaps that means that  the 50p packets are a double bargain!!

And me!

He He I was thinking I was turning into a Seed Nerd       

Glad Im not alone tho - I got idea I have to admit from searching for seeds on ebay and someone is actually selling a spreadsheet for exactly this.  I thought blimey why would someone buy that!  Then I started thinking I suppose if you aren't good at spreadsheets like I am (blowing own trumpet) then suppose you might buy it - hey wait a minute I could do that for personal use only tho and as I have been to wyevales and got £84 worth of seeds (obviously for a lot less tho in sale)  and have a new plot this could be useful and before I knew it I was busy designing my spreadsheet lol

Thought I would go along and have a look at our local Wyvale and got a nice surprise. They had a table with about 6 wicker baskets on, each filled to the brim with seeds. I came away with £8 worth of seeds and will probably go back next weekend for more. Might add up later the value of the seeds and see what I should have paid.

The Seed Borg collective have been sending messages to my mind - Go to the Garden Centre and pick up more Ramrod Spring Onions - OK got the last two packs - But could not resist Thompson & Morgan Feast Onions and two packs of Ishikura Then saw some Parsnip F1 Albion baby type beetroot, celery and gold ball size radish so 10 packs another £5 and the seed boxes are bursting - may need to get a bigger box or perhaps a third smaller box
