Thankyou, we will give any seeds a go. Even if we don't like the end result, they are great for swapping or for gifts (once grown).
-
Thanks Kez!
-
Thanks Kezlou :wink:
-
yep me too - nice one
-
thanks for the tip, wonder what I'm going to get!!
-
Thank you, I have ordered mine! :D
-
Nice find Kez :) We sent for some flower seeds as we are trying to find some nice ones for cut flowers.
-
I've got quite a few veg and flower seeds, but unfortunately my veg side over powered the flowers and pressed the veg button darn.
Glad the link is useful for everyone, if i see any more i'll post them up for you. :)
-

-

Thanks Kezlou :lol:
-
Thanks from us too!
-
Thanks for that Kezlou, have ordered mine too.
-
I've just found this as well for 8 packs http://www.youfarm.org/feedback-page/
Got a feeling I will have more seeds than is good for me this year but hey who cant pass up a freebie!
-
Thanks for that link for the seeds just signed up for it now! :D
-
Thanks for that Hectic ... Just signed everyone I know including the cat :lol:
-
Thanks folks. I have signed up to both. I am looking forward to the 'Dig for Victory' leaflets.
-
I'm struggling here folks, I don't NEED those seeds, I've got all this years seed already but I WANT them but it isn't environmentally sound to get them just because I can, especially if I waste them.
Life was so much easier when we didn't have to think about our impact on the world :roll:
-
Thanks Hectic, just signed up for the second lot of seeds.
Poolfield2, I too have enough seeds for this year, however if they have a good date on them I will keep them for next year. If not I will give them to someone on our allotments who needs them.
-
Thanks for the tip, I have signed up
Looks like the seeds are in ZipLock bags from the photo so probably need to be used this year
-
Cheers Hectic. Signed up. If we don't use any, we can always offer them on the Swap forum.
Or pass them on to friends and family.

no :?
-
Nor me. I ordered some for my dad too. Using his details obviously.
I hope they were expecting a mad rush with an offer like that ! :D
-
I woder how long they take to come, has anybody had any delivered yet?
-
Thanks kezlou. I pressed the flower button. Ive just gone through my seeds and ive got way more veg than flower seeds.
-
Cheers Kezlou... just ordered mine..
-
do you just sign up and they send or do you order?
-
Cheers, just ordered the free 8 packs, although looks like they got inundated and might not be able to supply.
-
Thanks Guys, just ordered both!
One thing I have realised as a new allotmenteer is the the joy of the freebie!
:D
-
i dont get this lol, i sogned up and it said thanks for applying, do i have to go on the seeds page and buy but the price doesnt come up??
-
no you sign up for the free seeds, give them your email address and thats it.
seeds should just arrive in the post.
-
i think and hope i signed up for the right thing
-
Youfarm registration closed for the year, due to high demand!
Pamela
-
WHAT?!
-
Has anyone received any of the seeds yet?
-
no lol
-
Thanks for the tip --- hope they've still got some left. Can't wait to see what comes.
-
Still nothing... :(
-
Had an email from them the other day saying they were sending out 100 packs ( :blink:) and were surprised at the response (you offer a freebie to the world and expect one man and his dog to reply! ???), but they're going to get another 1000 packs I think they said.
Bit of an underestimate I'd say. :D
So don't hold your breath.
Rob
-
Ah well, worth a punt eh? If anything DOES turn up it'll be a bonus!
-
I thought maybe I'd just applied too late. Still optimistic ......
-
There was a note on the website saying they packed & posted 100 sets at the weekend: http://www.youfarm.org/2009/01/31/the-seeds-are-on-their-way/
-
So looks like we maybe lucky next year then again................maybe not............it was worth a try
-

-

They're tiny little pkts with just a pinch of seeds in, but will enable me to grow stuff i've never tried before cos couldn't afford all the packets just for a try 8)

The 8 free packs? The sign up form has had a red message at the top:
Registration closed : Due to the great rate of sign up I have had to close registration for this year. We are looking for funding for next year when I hope to be able to provide even more people with seeds. Please feel free to add your details below ready for next years send.
since mid Jan so if you registered after that they I don't think they are sending more out until next year :(
Here some more free seeds on offer tho: http://www.britainonshow.co.uk/free_seeds_kit.php

Thank you for that have just ordered them :)
