ive  just bought 5 packets that have six different varieties in

garden veg (purple sprouting broccoli, cabbage, beetroot, courgette, onion, carrotts)
mediterranean veg(basil, aubergine, lettuce, radicchio, oregano, tomatoe)
oriental hot and spicy(pepper, corriander, pach choi, lemon balm, msratd greens)
herb and salad (basil, chive, rocket, thyme, mixed med herbs, italian salad leaf)
salad collection (cucumber, spring onion, radish, toms, iceberg lettuce, cress)
just wondering has anyone sed these before and what were the results like, it seems very cheep £5. for 30 different packets of seeds, or are they false economy.

seems like a lot of seeds for a fiver  

i've not tried them though - you will just have to lets us all know what they are like

i don't like buying prepared mixes of seed - as i will often have either duplicates or seeds that i don't want

saying that - for a fiver - as long as there are plenty of seeds in each packet - you can't go far wrong - and just donate what you don't want to wiggys quiz

Got some little gems last year, all germinated and produce, think it was about 39p a packet.

Was it £5 for 5 packets or were they available individually?  The oriental hot and spice sound good but wouldn't want the rest.  Might have to pop out and check our local one.

Last year I ahd the salad pack and the Veg pack, they are bonza!
The PSB is growing big and strong in the garden right now, had excellent germination rate,  The beetroot was great too I didn't have much sucess with the carrot, but I didn't with any carrots!
The sald/ herb mix was great, a really lovely leaf mix in the italian mix, I grew this in lots of containers and they were fabulous, really kept me in lettuce throughout the summer, with the webbs I grew in lines.
I will deffo be going to buy the new mixes, they seem good, and a great expansion.
They were on 3 for 2 alot of last year too.
One thing though, I did plant the mixed italian leaves the year before and some violas came up.. beautiful they were too, but NOT edible!!

Wow they sound great!
Were there enough seeds in each pack did you think?  I'm looking for the catch...

I had flower bulbs a few years ago. Didn't do much with them just stuck them in the ground. they came up lovely. However I bought a shrub last year which was pretty much a stick. planted it and it was still a stick three months later so chucked it. It seems people have had some success with the seeds so I may go and have a look myself tomorrow.

yes there are lots of seeds in each pack, they are very good value for money, even if you dont use all the packets, its an excellent price for six packets of seeds.
 last year i bought the cottage garden mix from there, cleared a patch of grass sprinkled the pack contents on lightly forked it over, you could not put a pin between them they flowered beautifully and i collected loads of seed heads for planting this year.
