Seed sales and all round good offers.

70 packets!!!!! What are you going to do with the £35 that you saved? That's the logic I always try to use anyway! Seriously though, where on earth are you going to find the space for them all?

Wyevale Ferndown have masses of seeds at 50p a packet and most have a 2010 date on them !!
I was like a kid in a sweetie shop and bought 70 packets (embarressed of Dorset ! )

Snap. I saw the thread about Wyevale having reduced seeds yesterday early morning. Nipped into Wyevale at Ferndown and my hubby, daughter and I must have spent a good 45 minutes going through the baskets of seeds. I was knelt on the floor. It was a good plan. We all put loads in the basket that we thought we wanted, then went through at the end to check there were no duplicates. £32.50 on seeds, work out how many I bought. The flower seeds were also in the sale, I've bought loads of nasturtiums for companion planting, hoping the cabbage whites will be attracted to them more than my cabbages.

Such good value at 50p a packet, we're about to work out the true cost of the seeds at full price.

Oh my goodness, just totalled up the normal price of the seeds

I've been looking into the price of seeds this year, and if you break them all down to per seed prices, you may be surprised sometimes.

wyevale purley way seeds at 50p per pack too - bought 37 packs

woolies have 71 piece 23.5m watering kit ("drip feed" kit) that connects directly to an outside tap for £2

West Midland Farmers do some large packets of seeds at bulk prices. I picked up a 500g bag of Meteor peas for £1.99, which is pretty much what a standard packet would cost you anywhere else. Not a huge range, but I reckon good value if you plan to sow a lot of something.

(Oops - showing my age there lol. Countrywide, not WMF.)

My local Wyvale has 50P seed packet sale on, but not for Veg, only Flowers.

Take note, not all Sales appear to be the same.

There does not seem any one in my local area doing cheap veg seeds at the moment,so im buying up all the neccesitys that are being sold of for next year.
Was going to get a walk in greenhouse the weekend for £15.00 in woolies but forgot so when i went there yesterday they had sold out.Bought a £3.00 frame as a consolation to give to a friend as i already have one,and it cost me £8.00 some weeks back and i thought that was a good price then. I also saw the irrigation set for £2.00 and was tready to pounce when i realised i dont have an outdoor tap.Also bought more 50 pencer items again!.

Nemo, Thompson and Morgan certainly deliver to Ireland (I'm guilty of a number of orders from there!!).

I got a couple of packets of Unwins seeds reduced to half price in Hurleys Supervalu in Midleton (Cork) a couple of weeks ago. But they weren't reduced in my local SV in Dublin - would Garvey's be worth a look?

Otherwise no offers that I am aware of (bought a load in T&M's half price sales recently so not allowed buy seeds for a while).

Woodies usually have any compost bags that burst being sold for half price (bought one last week and think I'll need another for my spuds so back again this weekend).

I am on the lookout for gloves at the minute if you know where to get any......

Went to my local Wyvale at Brighton Race Hill - just to let anyone in this area know - its mostly flower seeds with a sprinkling of herbs - no veg from what I could see.

Managed to get 12 packs including a nice lot of sunflowers to grow next year which I hope will deliver beauty, drama, and seeds for culinary use, saving and winter bird feed.

Thanks for the heads up.

The Wyevale near me makes up for the crappy Woolies and Wilko's here. I went to Wyevale last Sunday and got loads and loads of veggies, plus some flowers too. Lots of Kew Garden stuff was 50p packet too, in fact none of the seeds were full price. Saved myself £56 - but I didn't have £56 in the first place so can't really spend it on anything else can I

[zazen999]

Wyevales in between Burton and Derby had just as many veg and herb seeds as flowers, including the sementi range. All 50p. This was yesterday. Hope it helps.

[kernowyon]

wyevale woking has the 50p seeds - spent £10 today but total cost of seeds was £44. bargain. have to keep telling myself that i now have enough.

So many of us descending on Wyevale in Ferndown! I bought about 30 packets there - got home and filed them neatly in month order - just have to hope I'll remember where I put them next season!
