[aquilegia]

thanks Anna.

Ohh - the suspense of what seeds I might get is killing me!

[Mrs Ava]

ooooooooooo me to.  Of course I have requested veggie seeds.  Wonder what they have a bulk of and wanna get rid of.  ;)

[spade]

Thanx Anna cant wait .Cool Angie

[Garden Manager]

Great offer that. Just subscribed to get my seeds. Only thing is having to choose between flowers or veg. Would have rather not been forced to choose like that.

Speaking of free seeds does anyone get Amateur gardning magazine with their free seeds every week?

Or is an RHS member and taken part in their distributoin scheme.

Yes from me on both counts   :D

[Mrs Ava]

Thanks EJ

No not yet. Thoughmy order was a bit last minute, so its probably at the bottom of their list to do! Never mind It'll be worth waiting for. Trying some different things that you cant get elsewhere, like ornamental grasses etc


Whats the monthly one flower? I've got garden answers and GW magazine this month. GA has free seeds this month. 'Mcanna' aquilegias and 'star of the veldt'.

[flowerbaby_uk]

richard the monthly one i am refering to is kitchen garden it is a lovely mag only £3.10 and free seeds worth at least £2.00 Gardens monthly also a nice mag they gave away some nice grass seeds the other month dahlias and sunflowers this month

[Garden Manager]

O well i wouldnt expect a true lottie to buy anything other than a kithcen garden magazine. GA tends to be abit 'light' and designerish.

What were the grass seeds in gardens monthy?  I've never got that one.

[flowerbaby_uk]

Hi Richard
 The grass seeds i got free with gardens monthly were Briza maxima  ( greater quaking grass) and Stippa tenuissima ( pony tails )  

[Garden Manager]

Oh lovely. Have you sown any yet? Should look great in the garden.

I like grasses. am a recent convert to their delights after being initialy sceptical about them.  I already have Miscanthus, Molina and Festuca.  Love to have some stipas and carex too

Thanks for this Anna - I've requested veggie seeds too...this is exciting! - H.P.

[rdak]

woo hoo! received mine this morning...darn it, more tomatoes! Got Alicante...what did everyone get?

[Mrs Ava]

lol Ross, yup, Toms.  There are going to be a lot of tomato recipes needed come late summer!

[thomasb]

Tomatoes here as well....

[aquilegia]

The postie arrived yesterday while I was in the shed sowing my five different varities of tomatoes, and guess what - oh another packet of tomatoes (aqui drops sarcasm as they are, afterall, free!) If I have room I'll probably sow some later in spring - I can never have too many tomatoes!

[Mimi]

Ha Ha  :D no toms for me.  Asked for flower seeds anyway and got some very pretty Cornflower seeds'polka dot' mixture.  

[Garden Manager]

Well Iam pleased to report my seeds arrived this morning.

Not though quite what I was hoping for. I picked flower seeds rather than veg, since i didnt want any more veg seeds this year (and as i only grow what i like the pot luck nature of the offer didnt appeal).

So I have ended up with cornflower seeds (snap, Mimi!), a hardy annual i like and have grown before, but i already have plenty of seed! Still they will keep an d i might be able to grow a few more than last year.

Slight disapointment though. I was hoping for something different.  Still ther might be more offers in the future so i will have to wait and see.
