[Robster]

Having been a seedaholic for a while I had a massive cathartic moment recently.  I went through my seed boxes (three of them!) and I threw out everything that was opened and everything that was out of date.  Very good feeling.  Starting over.

I can understand trowing out out of date seeds as they may not germinate but to throw seeds away _{might be a crime around here!!}

Oh my! Robster to the norty step! me thinks ..........................

I treat seeds like books.   Never throw them out unless they are no use.  Plant them or give them to someone else.   There is always a collector of seeds somewhere nearby!

hahaha! my name is michelle and i am a seedaholic! it has been.......ummm *mumbles* hours since my last purchase!

One of my favourite winter jobs is to sort the seeds out and make a start on a plan    This may be a Christmas treat rather than spend time watching rubbish on the TV 

I don't pay much mind to best before dates on most seeds.  I know some won't keep, but its always worth a germination test on some kitchen paper.  I admit this approach is no use to those approaching seed box saturation point though    

If you have overs, you can always join in our other winter seedaholic pursuit of seed swapping on the forum.   Actually that doesn't help either does it    Just give in a buy another seedbox

Mebbe Robster is in the seedaholic recovery programme...

(I've got seeds from the 1980s)

or combine 2 addictions.....................

Buy another pair of shoes and use the shoe box,............................. or buy another box of biscuits or choccies and use the tin........................ OH NO! shouldn't have thought of that one

I've asked Santa for a new seed box as mine is overflowing, if I'm lucky ill get a couple of extras inside.
Hopefully SEEDS  and not socks.

Go straight to Jail - do not pass go and retrieve your seeds from the bin on your way.

Me either - though I have enough seeds to plant up 2 allotments, not the one that I have! OH is giving me 2 days-worth of hard labour at the plot for my Christmas present, so I will have more prepared space to stick them in the ground.

Surbie - may I borrow your OH? (For allotment duties only, please be assured)

   That represents 50% more time at the plot than he spent in 2013. Usually he only visits to take pictures/pick stuff whether or not it's ready/hang around smoking and looking bored.
