Seed-a-holic

[Mrs Dobby]

Oh well, I'll start it all again!

My name is Suzanne, and my hubby's name is Lee, and I'm afraid we are definitely seedaholics, not only that, but we are proud and open about the fact too!

Yesterday we popped into our local GC, only to emerge with most of next years seeds bought, at 50% off! Now have a further 2 types of broad bean, another 2 types of peas, another 3 types of onions, another 4 types of squash and pumpkin and lots of other nice stuff too!

If we were sensible, then we could probably get away without having to buy any more seeds (except seed tatties, overwintering garlic and some onion sets for overwintering) until the year after next, but I have a feeling we will still be spending some more money on seeds for the coming year!

I just cant help myself. We are off to France in a few days and I expect to come home with lots of seeds, especially beans and tall peas.

Darn it, I'd been hoping this thread wouldn't get dragged back up... I'll have to confess now

In the last 2 weeks I have bought:
Seed potatoes
Onion sets for overwintering
Garlic for overwintering
Late peas
Raspberry canes for next year
Late carrot seeds
Chives
Sping onions
Leek seedlings
French bean seeds
Purple Sprouting Broccolli plants

Whoops!

I put this down to losing a lot of my crop in the flooding!

I tried really I did but there were black nasturtiums offered on Freecycle and the kind person didn't even want an SAE, just popped them in the post for me. I spent £12 with T&M and got an extra 20 packets half price with some freebies. I still need to order seed potatoes, overwintering garlic and onion sets (well those will be from Wilko after this year's success) but they were selling seeds cheap in Woolies too and I saw some flower seeds I had to have and some sweetcorn.

I have to admit I have no self control and don't really know what I'm going to do with all these or whether I'll have the time to plant/sow them all. I do however know I'll have the space if it ever stops raining long enough for me to go and dig the weeds up on the lottie(s).

Yup, I only thought of the weather etc after I'd bought everything!

I'm hoping that we'll get a dry-ish weekend to go and sort out what's left of my veg patch (and plant everything)
