I had a long overdue sort out of my seed packets this evening and, as always, there’s far too many – will I ever learn?
Then I thought why not give a few away? So if you want to have this “summer salad” collection (5 packets – all are sow 2013/4 bar the Radish which should be OK but a little old) – Wild Rocket, Mixed Lettuce, Golden Sunrise Tomatoes, Radish Rudi and Telegraph Improved Cucumbers – just leave a comment on this post. I’ll contact the first person to say “YES” and get your address and post them to you. Simple as that!
And for the record here’s what’s left:

Damo, please DON’T send them to me! I have a similar problem…

I think there’s a few of us who have this issue!! Hoping there’ll be somebody out there who’s starting out and needs a few seeds.

Ha! I did the same today – seeds have been snapped up – hope the same goes for yours. I’ll put a link up over at mine to send some peeps your way hopefully

I’m in the same position as Mark and hoping no more magazines have freebies. Lots of varieties of beans on your list. You’ll be full of beans

I hope so Sue! I do grow quite a few extra for my local Hort Soc and NVS Hampshire DA plant sales which are both in May but even so there’s far too many!!

Hi,
I can’t quite tell whether they have already gone but…I’d love them, actually for me only the wild rocket, but I am organising a Seedy Saturday in Corsham on February 16th so any spare packets would be very welcome to go into our swap shop! Thanks in hope…
January 29, 2013 at 8:48 pm
Damo
Hi Lu, thanks for contacting me and I’d be more than happy to send you the seeds. I hope your seed swap goes well and good luck for the new season. I’ll send you an email shortly.

What a lovely giveaway! Sorry I got here too late (but sending good wishes to Corsham’s Seedy Saturday) Does anyone else have seeds that need a home? Community Garden in Swindon would love them.

What a great idea
I’m sorry I missed out and if anyone with similar troubles wants to send them out to a newbie I’d be very happy to take them off your hands! The mice got to most of mine…..

Sorry you missed out those mice have a lot to answer for!!
