If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

It'll be interesting to see how much they do go for. ;)

I'm guessing £6
Who on earth needs 38 packets of lollo rossa?

Just what I wanted, another 300 packets of out of date seed.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The lettuce seeds on ebay average out at bettween 50p to £1, so to re sell 300 pakets seeds would be quite profitable :D

Im not sure, but i bet not many would mind them only being a year out nof date, most of the seeds i own are out of date and yet get a good gertmination rate every year, i do replace things like parsnips every year though :)

Hi

I had a peep at these, now ebay reckons I'm gonna bid & popped them on my view page.

I've too many seeds as it is, what would I do with 300 more packs & lets face it, even bugs bunny would struggle with 300 packs.  :D

Im surprised no one has asked about the date on them. Maybe they have but the seller is not allowing that question to be shown.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Hi

No need to ask date, states 2010, out of date in listing. Hope that helps.  :)

If you read my first post, I said they were out of date seed. OK, so I didn't specify the date!
