Sweetcorn Red Strawberry - T&M seeds

[Woolner1]

Hi, has anyone got spare Thompson & Morgan Red Strawberry sweetcorn seeds. They are out of stock on line and also in 4 local garden centres. I wanted some to grow with the children at a school where I work. We heard about them from the RHS Campaign for School gardening tutor and sound like fun. Any seeds, address of a garden centre with some in stock would help.

Out of stock - oh no :-(

I have these on my seed wish list for this year, a bit of a novelty and was keen to try them.

If I find them is stock anywhere I will let you know.

Your welcome, all I need to do now is remember to order mine :-)

Do watch the seed packet contents - T&M is a generous 200 seeds (£2.99) whereas these others are 20-35. 20 for £0.75 and 35 for £3.70!

OK if you only want a small amount and cannot share/swap with others - but they work out at more than double the cost at moreveg and astronomic at victorian!

Many seed companies will be out of stock of certain items this time of year but if you placed an order with T&M, for instance, you would get them as soon as stock replenished.

Can't remember if you can order OOS items online but you could send an order by post?

Any you don't use for your project could be swapped here or distributed amongst the kids to grow at home.

Astronomical is one word for it quark1 - but I can think of others :-)

Oh yes - so can I - but this is a family forum - lol - and I am the tight-fisted one!
