Seeds are down in price at Wyvale if anyone is interested 

Thanks, CH - have merged this with the existing thread to keep them all together 

[Kristen]

WATCH carefully because Wyvale always bring down the price to 20p a pack a bit later on.

Bit of a gable though?

Seed that I wanted in the 50% sale was gone by the time of the 50p sale ... and I had the last few packets of several varieties at 50p ... although my local seems to have had far fewer seed packets left this season than usual, maybe they bought less, maybe people are growing more sow-your-own?

That's ok for your bog standard seeds but  the interesting stuff has usually gone by then

We've just come back from Blooms by the race course in Cheltenham.....

£80 worth of seeds for £15.50 SWMBO is well happy

I am very happy with my 50p a packet seeds,  spent £12 on seeds which would have cost around £65.  All the seeds still on the racks, so no rummage in bins for me

Thank you for the promot for the sale.

I didn't think I would get there but then called in on a detour after picking up MIL. £65 worth of seeds purchased for the princely sum of £12. really pleased with that,got some for my sister for when I go to see her on Thursday so good for her too. Even better MIL bought the cup of tea

Hi Snowy, did you go to Woodlands? I didn't get there either yesterday but am going after work today. I ther a lot of choice and are they in the racks of buckets? I was thinking of seeing if Sapcote was doing the same because I prefer to go to them. P.S hope you are good :-).

The best bit about this is that you don't have to worry at all about how expensive the seeds were to start with.  My best buy was a purple podded mange tout which should have been £3.49!  Just starting out so not that fussed about what varieties I got, have been to two centres yesterday and today and pretty much bought all the seeds I need for the next year for £9.  You had to be a bit in the know though, didn't you!  The shelf edging still said 50% off!

You had to be a bit in the know though, didn't you!

If you take up membership of The Garden Centre Group you get a mailing (mine arrived last Thursday) with all the monthly offers - plus you get Points for purchases, which converts to money-off-vouchers periodically

(Actually maybe you had to be/become a member just to get this "offer". You can join there&then and if you forget your card my branch can lookup via my postcode, which is handy)

The shelf edging still said 50% off!

I think that's just the manager/staff at that branch. Mine had their normal-style purple boards with the "50p sale" banner on it.

That said, I find most of their plants, fertiliser etc. relatively expensive.

I ventured in today and I was sooooooooooooo good.  I'd sorted my seeds out last week and decided I had just about all I needed for next year, except short of kohl rabi and nasturtiums.

Got 2 packs of kohl rabi - purple and green
2 packs of nasturtiums - pale yellow and deep red\black - should look lovely together next year 

Actually managed to walk away with only 3 more packs 

Mixed oriental mustards which are always useful to have around
Red onions to plant in January as already got some brown skinned ones
Tromba D'Albenga curly whirly summer squash to try something new, as MoS always says they're good 'uns

So I'm sorted for £3.50   

Remind me I said that in a couple of months when I'm drooling over seed catalogues and going all seedaholic again   

[Kristen]

... and going all seedaholic again

This native (well Irish) company will be right up your street then

Well done you 

I can't get there til Wednesday - and they might not have any left by then, cos you lot are buying them all  :blink:

thanks for the heads up on this one.... it was a bit of a free for all around the giant tubs they had thrown them all in but £6.50 for £32 worth of seeds was a bargain!!
