Just been to Wyevale Garden centre on the A6 near Mountsorrel in Leicester. They are selling hundreds of seed packets for only 25p each. The dates to be sown by vary but most are to be sown by 2008.

There are veg and flower seed.....what value!

Don't know if this offer is countrywide or just this garden centre, just thought i'd let you all know as you have all been really helpful to me over the last few months!

I've just been down to my local Wyevale in fair oak, easleigh (near southampton) and they have baskets full of seeds at 25p.
I bought just over £10 worth and will be back soon to get my free bulbs and most probally more seeds!!!!

Loads of flower seeds and a good variety, veg too. All Suttons and Thompson & Morgan.

Get down there!!!

Yes, been to Wyvales, Chelmsford, same thing, right by the check-out, 3 big trugs jammed full, and one just full of veggies! Over 60 packets of seeds! Oh how the lad on the check out smiled! :P

Thank you very much for the message, the choice is terrific, I didn't plant to buy anything, but ended up with 20 packets!
Delighted!
The seeds were not all in one place, flowers were at the till, veg seeds were next to cafe. :)

I bought 80 packets ruffmeister... they didn't even count them, just sorted the flowers and subtracted from the total.... I'd counted them four times but its easy to miss one when they are all sizes....
;D

;D I went there today and spent £11 on veg seeds, the retail price would have been £68 :o ;D Sooo glad I missed out on the "Wilko" half price offer ;D

I couldn't believe the prices they were asking for some of the seeds :o Cues F1 Bella...£3.99 :o Sweet Pepper Redskin F1...£3.25 :o I was quite chuffed paying just 25p for em tho. ;D

;D I'll give it a bash ;) but I think I will be struggling with 'Sweet Pepper Redskin' as our conservatory faces Nor nor something or other ::) although I bought them mainly for my granddaughter as she said she loves peppers, hope I succeed. ::) ;D

Have just got back from Wyevale in Shurdington near Gloucester and have purchased 12 packets of various vegetable seeds at 25 pence each!
Wow what a bargain and thanks for the tip ! :D

HI Everyone

Have any of you bargain seekers found any sweetcorn at 25p in Wyevale? Neither of the sites closest to me has any :'(

Could I ask a favour - next time any of you are in W's could you pick me up 4 packs of sweetcorn? I'll cover the cost and the post - thanks in anticipation

stuffed · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2006, 17:01:23 »

I looked for sweetcorn but couldn't find any, they did have a couple of baby corn 'minipop' but I was after normal stuff. Ah well I still came away with 13 packs of seeds @25p each and an extra couple of promational packs with the Thompson & Morgan seeds. That's one for everyone to remember if they are yet to go, T&M have a few 'buy two pack of seeds get this pack free' seeds I got some parsnips and tomatoes, just because you're not paying full price doesn't mean you're not buying them ;D ;)

barkingdog · « **Reply #14 on:** September 02, 2006, 18:24:15 »

I did see some but I can't remember which variety it was! I'm going back tomorrow and will see if there's any left!

I picked up some sweetcorn from the .25p table, but when I got to the checkout they were full price - not quite sure how they got mixed up as there were loads :(

ThomsonAS · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2006, 20:22:43 »

Thanks for this great tip!

No sweetcorn @ Northampton branch - but good variety anyway - including plenty of Thompson & Morgan packets originally priced £1.99. I was particularly pleased with some celeriac which I'd been planning to try this year but never got around to it.

Wyevale in Chilton - Oxon have them too. Shame they've just stuck them is a couple of small containers, its impossible to find anything! Plus there was a que forming so we gave up.

saddad · « **Reply #18 on:** September 02, 2006, 21:04:59 »

I picked up 80 packs the other week and saved over £118... there were things at £2.25 each... there was Sweetcorn but not Minipop which I would have taken... I tend to Grow Ovation, which wasn't in the box or I'd have bought it all. Doubt if they will have any left. Thanks to Deb P who started a similar thread in News I think..
;D

No sweetcorn in Chelmsford, I was looking as that and spring onions is about all I am short now for next year. Thing is, don't know if this thought has crossed your mind, but how many people are now going to place a big seed order? Not me that's for certain. I don't suppose they will notice, but I wonder if some of the smaller seed companies notice a fall in sales.....
