Free seed tapes for p&p

[Nannysally99]

Let me know VC and I will send the SAE if that's ok

[Lumpy]

Woo Hoo.....................tapes just arrived. For some strange reason I was expecting much bigger boxes!

Well done Suttons for their prompt posting.............now can Marshalls send me my raspberries please?

[veggiechicken]

Mine arrived from Suttons!!

[Lumpy]

Oops - I put it right Ta VC

[Nannysally99]

I'm away, so mine should be waiting for me

[Lumpy]

I just checked the varieties on the back against the varieties on the tapes and some of them don't match.

It might be worth checking yours just in case you were expecting one thing and get another.

[WendyC]

Just done the same. Lasso Rosdo has been substituted with Red Salad Bowl, in both sets. In the spring pack Spinach Gigante d'inverno has been changed to True.

[veggiechicken]

Well spotted, Lumpy
In my Autumn box, the Parsnip has changed to Lisbonnais, Celeriac to Brilliant and Leek to Toledo & the lettuce changed to Red Salad Bowl in both boxes and Spinach changed to True,as Wendy says.
I've just ordered 2 more boxes as I was putting in an order to Suttons anyway. Code TAPE16 still works. Be interesting to see what's in these

[SaraJH]

Ooh interesting, I must check my tapes.

However, VC, you are very naughty by letting us know that the code TAPE16 still works. I have just spent another £40 on 'stuff' to justify £20 worth of 'free' seed tapes LOL.

[veggiechicken]

Norty............me Never
If it helps I did much the same thing - £10 of flower bulbs and summat else

[Lisasbolt]

and that is why i am sitting on my hands

[veggiechicken]

FYI I've emailed Suttons and asked them to explain why the seed tapes in the box are different to those advertised.
I'll let you know what they say!

[SaraJH]

Written in very small print on the boxes is 'should any of the varieties stated be unavailable, we will substitute with another first class item'

[veggiechicken]

So there is!!
However, you wouldn't know about the substitutes until you opened the box. In effect, you're paying for a box of 10 seed tapes varieties unknown

Indeed, and it's really rather bad practice.

In reality, for me it is a non issue as I have no idea about the different varieties (for now!) but I can imagine that for the seasoned grower then it really is quite frustrating.
