My OH wants my seed boxes

[pigletwillie]

My good lady has various hobbies, including card making, beading, painting and others. To keep things in some sort of order I bought her a few of THESE storage boses.

They come in various sizes and can be bought in Tesco and Staples as well as online.

I have 5 of the 9 litre ones for my seeds and after bringing them in the house to have a sort out tonight, The old girl is trying to steal them for her craft stuff, saying my seeds can go in old shoe boxes.

Its war, how can she even think such a thing?

[jackie j]

We have some of thise too, didnt think about putting my seeds in them, might have to pinch some from OH !!!!

[smallblueplanet]

Surely an opportunity for you to purchase some more 'newer and swankier' models for your seeds?

[miffy]

Defo, go really up market and get ones with a lock on for your precious seeds then she can't get in them!

[janeyo]

Under the patio she must go, eee iiiii eeee iiii eeee iiiiii ohhhhhhh

Just kidding, can you not put writing all over them so she doesn't want to use them?

Or hide them?

5 x 9 litre boxes for seeds ! Jings Piglet, you must be the worst seedaholic amongst us Well, unless someone else has more.
You could take a marker pen and write all over them. Kazy won't want them them.
Or you could give her those old plastic boxes with a good grace - and buy some really swish ones for yourself

will you still get help with the weeding if you declare war

flippin heck, my seed box is about a litre, and i've cleared it out twice as i had too many seeds, is wondering what on earth you keep in them

[pigletwillie]

It sounds worse than it is Alice,

1 box is divided into months for sowing
1 box is for flowers
1 box is for legumes (I do have lots of heritage beans and even more peas)
1 box has Alliums and brassicas
1 box has roots odds and sods in.

They would all go into three but I like to have easy access to them so i can see what I have.

Mine is a wooden bread bin, 50p from car boot sale, divided with ceral box cardboard into section for garden and section for sprouting seeds. The only problem is, it's a bit heavy!

[lynda66]

mine just have a bit of card in that separates veg and flowers and fruit, it may get bigger once i get a lottie lol

[nilling]

My seed box is a Quality Street tin and I use an elastic bands to seperate the sowing months...

[allotmentlady]

mine is an old fishing box that used to hold OH's lures until they were rehomed in a plastic box........

[Dottie]

I keep mine in a biscuit tin, in the fridge, with gaint paper clips for each group - roots etc. But after collecting my own seeds last year, I now also have a Quality Street tin for Crackerjack Marigolds and a Thornton's toffee tin for French Marigolds. All have those little silcon gel packs you get with shoes.

I have two of those boxes, about 9 litre I guess, one for flowers and one for veg. I went to their website and I fancy one of the CD storage boxes to store seeds by month of sowing. They are just the thing !
