James Wong - seeds

[zazen999]

I've just sown some Wintergreen, Stevia, Wild White Strawbs and Agastache and I'm shocked at the seed numbers within.

I thought when I sowed the agastache that there were not 38 in there, but when I got to the Wintergreen [18] and Stevia [18] there were only 8 and 7 in the packet. I know they are small but by heck, I can count!

I've asked them to send me replacements as these are for school gardens...we shall see if they respond.

Not good publicity - and at the price of them I want the full seed count please!

That's really rubbish.

Heh, I would be very miffed too!

Several grapes have bought James Wong's seeds - hope they check how many seeds they have after reading this

[zazen999]

That's why I am posting it VC! Also to let people know if they send me a replacement pack.

I know Zaz - just reinforcing it
Lots of those seeds are sold by Pennard. Wonder how many seeds they provide?

I don't know but I sold some of those exotic crops to pennards last week so expect a new range in 18 months!

I'll be watching!!
They sell 450 seeds of Agastache (Anise hyssop) for £1.50 but the Stevia is more expensive.

I told you this guy was selling common seeds at rare prices, or maybe it wasn't you. I am staggered at how popular he is and how rich he must be getting. A lot of his seeds are available through Chase. Purslane for example.

A lot of the seeds seem to have been given fancy names - but are actually quite common. That's what bugs me!

I know...but my students were looking at them and I bought some for them...and I got a discount in the shop

I bought some of his seeds. Guess I had better check them out. Next time I won't be so fast to buy seeds that I think are rare without checking them out first

I know and maybe you should tweet him or write to him personally. What's the seed tally on the packet or does it not state? I think it's a bit of a con TBH but I understand why you want to get kids hooked with plants that are "different". Maybe keep the packets and fill from Chase or Pennards

I've kept the packets - they were less than half full...and we'll see if Suttons get back to me. If not, I'll tweet him

You know in the rainbow corn, which was the only one I bought, I didn't get that much either. Thinking about it. Was that the one we split or was that Pennards?
