so if I didn't have kids I only would have had to wait for a week, dam it

[Glutton4...]

Just tried twice more. Giving up now.

[Brengirl]

I don't know what the problem is? I applied on the cbbies site and nobody asked if I was a kid or had any?

what did you get yourselves some kids in the meantime so you could get the seeds!

[Sanjed]

Just ordered mine, i did it before reading all these posts, so i got mine from c-beebies, no kids, but it seems it doesn't make any difference any more. happy days.

Have applied, but as yet.... not e-mail back.

I applied for my seeds on the 12th and didn't get an email either, all I saw was a page that said :-

'you have successfully applied'

[HotStuff]

My seeds arrived in the post this morning

Thanks for the original tip-off enrich.

[Magiccat1978]

[quark1]

mine have also arrived this am!

Well - you all beat me to the punch there... mine arrived today too.

It's a shame the salad leaves are mixed up like that, I'd have liked them to be separate so I could grow them a bit more deliberately. Still - they'll make for a nice salad box regardless.

Did anyone else think the pack they came in was really well done? Clear instructions and well put together.

I did notice a bit of a howler on the Carrots page though.
Sow at 1" spacing...
Thin to 1" spacing...
That could be a bit confusing to some (even I'm not entirely sure and I'm probably a step above clueless) - is the inclusion of the thinning instruction an error or should they be thinned to a wider spacing?


Oh and as for "guilt" - if you've got a TV licence or pay any tax at all you've already paid for the seeds - don't feel guilty about getting what you already own.

well i'm really smug, I have been sent 2 packs by mistake. I already have enough salad leaf and herbs but the carrots, beans, and courgettes will be apreciated, what I don't use then goes to my local school and play school (even though I already signed them up too)
