I am also a seedaholic - I have taken to hiding them from OH in the dining room sideboard now as I have run out of space in my seed storage!  Nice and dark, cool and dry in there!

Your chance to get hold of something rare in there!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Swapsies OK - just sorting some out now!

I've probably gained at least as many packets by swapsies this autumn/winter than I have bought, so I must be nearly cured  :unsure:  

I have, however, had to expand out of the large seed box I have to a second container so perhaps this theory is slightly flawed  :lol:

I succumbed last night and ordered seven packets of seeds from premierseedsdirect.
0.99p a packet, and only one postage charge of 0.59p. Got an email at 9am today informing me that they had been dispatched. Good service.

Not just seeds, I have been out today buying winter clothing for the lotty. I suffer with Arthritis
in my legs and have to keep them warm so I found some shower proof, fleece lined trousers on a local market at £12 a pair. Oh and I've just ordered an electric propagator from amazon for £18 inc delivery.

'Spose I'd better stop spending now!  :wacko:

I confess................ I never have enough Seed Packets, the more the merrier, the cheaper the better and don't they look beautiful in their storage box :blink: :blink:

I have to say that my cunning plan for seed swaps is going great.

I'm not going to have to dip my hand in my pocket for very much at all this year and after sorting them out, I can actually see what seeds I've got.

So busy weekend at work and have to hang round the tills to make sure the queues are't building up, get barcodes for stuff that has lost its label and deal with 'special' customers and what job do they give me to while away the quiet moments ..............  relabelling all the veg seeds that are going in the 50p sale  :wacko:

I confess to buying 4 packets but apart from that, no problem, no I was fine, not a care in the world

Just to say that with regular sowings each week, we're getting a super crop of pea shoots from the Batchelors 'Bigga' Peas!

Probably going to get three cuts per pot, and we're still on the first box!

Thanks all, for the tip, they're great!

(Didn't they used to be in Ashford, Mums)?

I bought a pack of them last year intending to grow them - must dig them out from whichever kitchen cupboard they are lurking in :blush:

Its all the fault of the weather, but I managed to find some seeds I had missed on the MoreVeg website  ::)  A recent thread on here got me thinking about growing soy beans again, then I found a couple more things to try and ................

Wasn't too norty - only bought a few packs  :lol:
