  In Saturdays Daily Mirror , there is a 16 page magazine with tips and advice

 There is also an offer of free flower ,veg and herb seeds ,100 varieties to choose from .

My dad gets the Mirror every day and he said he will keep it for me. Going to his house in the morning to have a look at whats on offer. :)

Postage?

This will tell you.

Compared to the "big" companies, seems quite reasonable!

Pretty poor selection of veg, though. I notice the usual bland Moneymaker as the tomato giveaway.

Spend a few pence more - you won't regret it!

Newspapers tend to run this type of offer with a view to selling more copies.....

My mother has just told me she's collecting these for me.

I'll see what I can get.

Got some free carrot seeds with the RHS 'The Garden' magazine this month - nice. :)

A lad at work collected the tokens for me. Thanks Don.
My order is now in the post  and I'm going for all flower seeds. ( I do seem to have a lot of vegetable seeds already 8) )

I went for 3 packets of herbs and 12 flowers as the veg seeds weren't all that exciting and already had half of them.
I do like a lot of flowers in my back garden! :)
