Topic: BOGOF seeds in Wilkos

[BAGGY]

Veg and flower seeds are buy one get one free at the mo.  Wilkos and the other brand that they do are in the same offer.

I got Swede (best of all) and butternut squash - well Debbie got them for me.  T'other brand is Johnsons.

[BAGGY]

Make sure you goet seedthat are the same price or they will charge you the most expensive.  Oh pointed out I could be paying for 1.49 ones and only getting 39p ones free.  Squeeky moi ?  Well, just a bit.

I have already taken advantage, and hope to get some more packets soon ...

Well there is a Wilkinsons here in Coventry, they are a national chain actually. I nipped in again to get some onion seed - Ailsa Craig, grrr they are sold out of most seeds. I hope they restock after the holiday period is over. I want to get my onions sown within the next fortnight.

I've finally got my butternut squash !   :)

[Derekthefox]

That is very kind of you Alishka, and I do appreciate the gesture, but I really want to have a browse, as I will choose a few different varieties. I dont get out much at all, so it is good motivation for me  :) I work quite close to the store, so can pop up at lunchtimes to take a peek.

DTF - I'm back to the grind tomorrow so I can look and let you know what's my way if you are missing something in partiular.  PM me tomorrow when you've had a browse.

Yep I'm back to the grind today (although not working TOO hard as you can tell!) and there's a Wilko's within walking distance of my office but I must keep repeating 'I WILL NOT BUY MORE SEEDS I WILL NOT BUY MORE SEEDS' when I go out at lunchtime as I've already got as much and probably more than I can possibly use

Have a look at http://www.wilko.co.uk/stores

Doesn't look like any in Scotland or SW England.

We have one in sunny Farnborough which I potter about in at lunchtimes (not much else to do in F'boro) and have to admit, had big success with germination/cultivation of their seeds/onion sets and garlic.  All except their tarragon which grew very nicely but was completely odourless and tasteless.
