Title: Empty seed packets!!!!
Post by: becky on March 26, 2006, 22:06

:evil: Hi all. Just had to vent my rage, as I started sowing some promising looking tomato seeds, only to find the packet empty! Dun dun dunnnnnnnn! This always happens to me, when I have bought an expensive packet of seeds, I think the seed companies do this just to wind us up! Anyway, I have emailed the offending company, so I am hoping for a good result! I will let you all know the good or bad results!

I have often had that with free seeds on magazines.  So stopped buying gardening mags except one.

It is annoying, and sometimes there are not many seeds in a packet and you realise that each tiny seed is worth saving!

I'm quite surprised - never happened to me. I must have a sheltered life :)

I'm surprised it's never happened to me with the amount of seeds that I buy.  Maybe you're just "lucky"  :wink:  Hey, maybe they'll give you good compensation for your trouble!

:D Hi there! I just had a very polite email from the offending seed company, and they are going to send me another packet of seeds! Jolly good, as I had plans for those tomatoes!!!

Just to fill you all in, the seeds arrived today, and the packet is full, so there will be another addition to the windowsill this afternoon. Off to the allotment this afternoon, with my little girl! A glorious day, not to be wasted!
