What would you like?

[Jenegade]

I like the idea of re-sealable packets, would stop seeds falling out once you opened them and keep them fresh!

Definitely a bit more information, like Eco-Chick says and less seeds or several different variteites of the same vegetable would be nice like Gwen11an mentioned.

[Epsom Gardener]

Yes, definately re-sealable packets. For the first time gardener, not so many seeds and at a reduced price.

[FionaH]

less seeds, idiot proof directions and when and how to harvest tips.

[terrier]

A pic of the seedlings as well, beginners find difficulty in recognising seedlings from weeds.
Re sealable packs, great idea.

You have all given me so much help! You've given me such a good idea of what gardeners want and precious research! I want to design a range that gardeners ACTUALLY want and not guess what they want

I want to be able to cover everyone so want to look at growing produce on windowsills as well as in the garden. A lot of new products are appearing for windowsills, such as grow in the bag, meaning less dirty work, just tear the top off and your on your way with your compost and seeds already contained inside. How do people feel about these? Does this take the fun away from planting your own seeds, or is it a good idea for beginners in particular, being given everything you need to start? Thanks again, you've all been a great help!

Well I can only speak for my daughter who is a student. She only has one window sill with any decent light and because she's in rented accomodation cannot do much in the garden which is also shady so.......windowsill products are good for her. I think it has encouraged her to have a go and enjoy GYO despite the limited circumstances. The grow in bag product also has everything in it she needs particularly compost in small quantity rather than buying a big 75l bag she will never use up.

By the way, I think a student range would be good as long as it was affordable. I think it's good if we can encourage youngsters to grow their own instead of relying on the ready meals that many students seem to eat.

less seeds for us 'plot size' challenged, i so do NOT need 250 celeriac seeds.

definitely re-sealable packets.

decent instructions nice and simple, no 'garden tech' words
i do like, on some commercial seed packets i have got, the little pic of what the seedlings should look like, i know what to expect then.

approx germination time, i always think i have killed mine.

approx time till cropping.

and if it's for true virgins, how about a nice mix, companion planting style, so you don't have to be an expert to figure out what you can plant next to what? maybe some veg with appropriate herbs IE: carrot and coriander, potatoes and parsley , tomatoes and ... i forgot already

Thank you very much everyone! You've been a great help and given me lots of ideas to help me along and also lots of thinks to think about!

Planting distances in inches as well as centimetres.

That is easy to work out, google has a built in calculator! Just type in for example 3cm in in and it tells you 3 centimeters = 1.18110236in

Works for loads

15428672cm in feet = 506 190.026 feet

5412564544 in in yards = 150 349 015 yards

I love Google

Also if you could come and plant, water, feed and harvest the plants for us would be helpfull, think thats everything covered now!!!!

[Eco-Chic]

I'd like mine cooked as well
