Despite having a large, well orderd box of seeds, I find I have no Bigga peas and now feel I need some

and I have no yellow round pod climbing french beans, which of course I cannot possibly cope without.

I have enough seeds of other climbing beans, so how can I covet these so badly?   :unsure:

Do you really need to ask  ::)  Because you just do  :lol:

The Bigga peas can be rationalised as food shopping so can be bought guilt free  ;)

I haven't got a single seed catalogue and have yet to get any seeds, feelling really left out that I can't join in 'the club'.  I have got two Jacobs cheese biscuit tins full of seeds that I salvaged from the shop (when we were closing down and the rep said 'help yourself') so I will just have to sort them out. Bet I grabbed all the ones that we really don't like!

or swap  ;)  :)

I checked my Bigga peas and they are pretty old, so have put them to soak for soup later today.  I shall invest in more for pea shoot growing next time I go shopping  :)

Oh dear, I really didn't need another packet of sweetpea seeds...but they were too pretty to not take home. Even though I harvest seeds every year, I just can't seem to not buy them, will this obsession move to veg I wonder?

I can second that Aww yuss, I only buy veg seeds so I have just had a peek in my collection and found I have somehow collect 52 assorted packets of flowers!!

I can justify the poached egg plants, the marigold and sweetpeas, but Begonia? Salpiglossis? Cerinthe??

I know the feeling -  I had start a new box just for flower seeds this year - the old box just didn't have enough room for veg and flowers  :blush:

What do you all store your seeds in? Does it matter or can it just be an old round Christmas chocolate tub or Tupperware type container?

I use an old shoe box, mainly because it helps me maintain my self-discipline when it comes to seed buying!  ;)

Where you store the container is more important than what sort of container it is - cool and dry will ensure the contents stay viable for as long as possible.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I have an old telescope box, about four foot long and a foot or so deep and wide. I too have had to resort to an extra sweet tin for flowers though.
