It's on! What are you getting?

[sparrow100]

Congrats Mr & Mrs Cadders!

I am now all stocked up with green manure for a big sowing session next month. Am really looking forward to it. AND I have nearly everything I could think of for my new cut flower bed which is being installed next year. £12 instead of £80.

Not worth it.

Get your seed lists out, the Wyevale 50p sale has arrived!

Am off to my local one tomorrow morning for a proper rummage. I hope the packets are still on the rack rather than in a lump on the tables...

Went to my local massive Wyevale today for something else, but wanted a peep at the seeds.

Have to say how miffed I was, could not find any seeds anywhere, ended up asking a shop assistant, and was directed to a bucket of seed packets by the tills.

Mostly wild flower seeds for sale.

However racks and racks of Christmas Cards in evidence everywhere.

I left seedless with the hump.

How come you go to the garden centre and have to make it through the kids toys, jewellery, clothing , etc to find the gardening stuff in the corner.

Got crimson clover, buckwheat and mixed green manure; quinoa, parsnips, aubergine, leek seed tape, salad leaf seed tape, cardoon, yugoslavian parsnip, amaranthus, chicory and lentils.

I went to two and the difference couldn't be more marked. Syon Park had their seeds virtually on the floor in a huge heap. You'd have to sit on the floor to look through them. Staff were rude and the discount had to be added in manually at the tills - after first loudly disputing that they were 50p, which is pretty embarrassing in a busy garden centre. Had to be shown their own signs.

The one in Walton on Thames had their seeds all neatly on the racks, lovely friendly staff even though they were really busy and knew how to sort the discount out.

Guess where I won't be going in future...?

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

I am not going! I am not going! I am absolutely not going! I don't need anymore seed's!

But then again! What else may they have on offer!

[Penellype]

Well, it was raining this morning and I remembered I had some vouchers for the Wyevale Gardening Club, so I decided to brave the traffic, which actually wasn't bad today. However, I couldn't find any seeds that appealed that I hadn't already got. They were all still in their racks in our branch. I did come home with a couple of fuchsias and a heuchera plant in an attempt to brighten up my path, so at least it wasn't a wasted journey.

Thanks Deano and well done on the 33 years mate, been with my little Triffid (she can take a mans head off at 10 paces with one blow of the tongue) for 28 years, asked her to marry me, and got to the point where I had given up on getting married then suddenly she decided the correct answer was indeed YES and it was all arranged and done and dusted in about 8 weeks.

Technically I never did asked her to marry me, my Tandy CoCo was programmed to ask, and those were the early days of artificial speech. Her initial reaction was "Did that thing just say what I think it said"?

[veggiechicken]

I said I wasn't going to..............'cos I had enough seeds However, I think I saw Serpent of Sicily seeds which, apparently, are cucuzzi and I'm out of them now!


Any excuse, eh?

The GC was really quiet, the seeds were on racks and I was the only one looking at them. I bought two packets of Cucuzzi seeds and a "couple" more packets
Did anyone spot the boxes of RSPB seeds for Birds and for Bees. RRP £6.95 now 50p.
Spigariello,
Pastinaca dugi Bijeli (which turns out to be a Yugoslavian parsnip)
Gigantomo tomato
White step cauli (as grown by Potty)
Climbing courgettes - Black Forest & Shooting Star.

I might just be going back for more green manure - I plan on undersowing all my tall crops with it next year as a double whammy. Plus a clover experiment with the saffron beds while they are dormant May-August.

I'm going to pick up some more green manure when I go to look for sweetcorn and a few other seeds I would like to stock up on in another branch.

[veggiechicken]

IIRC they had a 3 pack of sweetcorn as well as singles.

[FlowerpotGirl]

I stocked up yesterday mainly with Green manure, RSPB packs for pollinators and birds, and some lovely veg packs (bargain pack with three varieties of Mange Tout). I get married in Oct 17 and want to grow my own white pumpkins, so I picked up a pack of 'Snowman' pumpkin seeds too

My seed box is now a large tool box full of packets of potential
