Ready.....Set......GO!
*hears distant thunder of stampeding seedaholics* :D
-
Woo hoo! :lol:

Ooh thanks Surbie, I nearly called in when I finished work but thought I didn't need anything, got home & have £9.50 in vouchers :lol: came in the post today, might need to go out again 😉😉
-
Been there done that one this morning but forgot my list :nowink:
Some nice T&M seed tape spring onions, leeks, beetroots, Radish
-
I went in my lunch break... I forgot to look in my seed box before I left. I was stressed and in a rush...
I bought... wait for it... 4 packets! it could have gone either way!

Shame...they don't do mail order :(
-
:ohmy: oh no I can't go tomorrow so I will just have to hope Friday isn't too late.....
-
Woo hoo :D Dashed there after work and have got over £50 worth of seeds for £10. I got almost everything I needed except a few bits I knew I would have to get mail order.
Autumn King carrots were all gone and there was no fennel either, but apart from that I am sorted and nabbed some real bargains like a Sarah Raven salad leaf collection and seed mats for salad leaves that were also 50p :D
-
I added up the 26 packets I bought 16 of them came to £60.45 then plus 10 packets of Franchi seeds that hadn't got the price on so I was well pleased with them.😀 Not all for me, some wild flowers for DD & some for my sister.

Got a migraine shortly after posting this so am going today....

Have fun :D
My local one hadn't taken the seeds off the stands so it was very easy to find what I wanted. Not that I mind rummaging through baskets, but it is time consuming.
-
Oooooooooh! I can't get there till at least Sunday!😥😥
-
£18 well spent on seeds which would otherwise have come to £105 at a conservative estimate as that includes quite a few Franchi seeds. Sarah Raven collections too, so that's really good value. Am a very happy bunny!
-
OK having done Lower Morden Lane without my list, today I've been to Boxhill - Dorking branch with my list. Much more to chose from compared with lower Morden lane and Purley Way and I have spent another £18.50 on seeds :nowink: So that's £27.50 in all but that does include four packs of green manure.
-
I dragged the grandchildren there today :lol:
They chose the flowers while I chose the veg, they chose a few that will never get sown - but it was worth it to keep them happy while I rummaged :nowink: Spent £10.50 in all - but some of those packets had crazy 'real' prices - do people really pay those prices? :ohmy:
Just sweetcorn left on my list now, I think :)
-
I went today - and picked up 27 packets which I thought was very conservative :lol:
-
Guess who forgot to take their vouchers? Still managed to get most of what I wanted, might just have to go back with the vouchers :D
-
I hadn't received my vouchers when I did my first visit.
I went back yesterday armed with them and treated myself to some flower seeds - mostly hardy annuals to fill any gaps in the garden at home, but some may make it to the plot :)
