Seed-a-holic

[OverWyreGrower]

Have been laying hints to OH about a custom made box split into sections for months but he isn't biting - think he realises that I'll get him to make it huge and then feel justified to buy more seeds to fill it!

Oooo... good idea! Will have to pester Mr OWG re new seed box!

[bramble]

I have two old shopping bags, one for flower and one for veg seed. I hide them up on the top of the press and only take them down when OH is not around.

So there I was in Perigueux this afternoon, buying a load of herbs and soft fruit plants for my chums ..................

And I had to walk past the seed display and using the reasoning that they wouldn't be for me but for my chums, managed to buy another 20 or so packets!

Nicos, get over to France and get this sorted!

I did very well yesterday. Having planted my flower seeds on Wednesday (some of them have germinated already!!!), I went to Sainsburys yesterday. Guess what - they had a seed stand
Fortunately, athough I looked at ALL of the display, they didn't have any parsley.
I would have justified buying some on the grounds that we only have 2lb of parsley left in the freezer, and I've only got 8 plants left for seeding this year.....

So: I DIDN'T BUY ANY

OK, I think it's time we found the King/Queen Seedaholic, how many packets are we talking folks?? I'm knocking on for 200 packets at last count - till I go to Wilko's next week of course!! So come on, let's have some amounts now!! Lets crown the king/queen seedaholic and BE PROUD of our (perennial)seed habit!!

My name is Johnty and I am a seedaholic

Today I bought Shredded Wheat because there was a packet of Love in a A Mist as a free gift. Am I totally beyond redemption?

[Mrs Dobby]

Hmm, methinks both Mr D and I are getting worse!!

Postie has just been with the new GYO mag, with FREE seeds, Gardener's Delight Tomato seeds, and what do we do?

Open the mag, put it safetly off to one side, then (still in our dressing gowns) go and fetch compost, seed trays and tools and plant 6 of them straight away!

We're not obssessed, we're enthusiastic, honest!

[Mrs Dobby]

Ooooh! Look at the ad on page 80!! 10 packets of free T&M seeds, plus plant labels, plus a 3hr DVD and a wall planner, worth a total of £32, all in a one off special mag, Lets Grow Veg (£8.99), available on 27th April 2007!

May just have to buy it, even tho we've got all the seeds we need!

[denise]

Hi Mrs D.
Are they 10 packets that you can choose or 10 TM decide to send you. If they are ones to choose I might have to force myself to send for the offer too.

[Mrs Dobby]

10 packets of seeds are Leeks, Carrots, Tomato, Cabbage, Lettuce, Corriander, Radish, Corn Salad, Cauli, Cougette, but doesnt list varieties!

Its not an offer, they come with the Lets Grow Veg Mag (which looks as tho its a one off by the GYO team, as its being advertised in GYO and looks very similar!

[johnty greentoes]

I've tried and tried to curb my compulsion but then other Grapes push their gear on me... leeks this morning...

[denise]

Thank you for posting info. I will look out for it.

I'm a seed-a-holic too. It doesn't matter what shop I'm in. If there are seeds, I'll find them and buy some.
Don't know what I'm going to do do with MORE gardeners delight though. This is going to be the third packet I've received with a mag.

Does getting free seeds with the mag count? It's not like we went out and bought them is it?
