My name is also Deb, but I have no idea what you mean, too many seeds! Preposterous, there is surely no such thing........ ??? ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Eristic here. I don't have a problem except that I do not have enough seeds. Look, this is all I've got. Tis nothing.

And I clearly have less than Eristic. Unfortunately, no picture proof is available at this time.

just because I have 1, well, maybe 3 boxes under the bed, doesn't mean I'm an addict  ;D

My name is Jeannine, I am a seed alcoholic, but only a little one.

I have only 260 varieties of tomatoes
196 varieties of winter squash
112 varieties of beans.

and the usuual anount of most everything else, like 2 dozen lettuce, caulis , cabbages etcm maybe a few more chillues and aubs.

Oh and I have been good, I have only ordered from 7 US seedsman this year, Reveived 2 so far each with about 60 packets in.

So you can see I am big enough to admit I am a bit of a hoarder, but I am still easily in control.

I am sure there are much more addicts than me, I can get almost all mine into 2 full sized suitcases still.

Would you not agree I am OK.

I love you.  Marry me!

My collection is not quite as extensive as your own but is definitely getting there.  I keep it in a box that used to be home to a Dublin crystal bowl so is quite big, but the lid will no longer close due to the amount of seed packets crammed in it.

My Name is Vegging and I am a Seedaholic.
I have a big cardboard box full and I look at them in private.
It is leading to crime as when I go to open gardens I nick the seed pods.
This has got out of control as last time I went to an open garden I also pulled up a slip of plant and shoved it in my hand bag.
I spend my time cruising the seed catalogue websites and eBay.
I used to have a normal life, but then someone offered me a packet of sweet williams seeds, "go on try them, you will like them".  Now I am an addict.
I have reached the stage where I accept I have a problem.
I AM A SEEDAHOLIC.

My name is Claire and I'm a seedaholic.
Am newish to allortmenteering with only a small collection to date but have ordered plenty more which gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside when pressed submit and order was confirmed.
Teamed with an addictive personality this could be a problem in the making.....

There is a road back, but like the path to the allotment it runs both ways... me I'm so far down the path and round the bend I can't remember where the gate is... and have no intention of going looking for it!!!
I bought an IKEA box storage system before Xmas, but it is full and the self saved Peas and Beans won't fit in it anyway!!
