whats your number?
« on: January 08, 2007, 18:35:13 »
Hi

I have just finished cataloging my seeds ( veg, herb and flower ) and excluding what i have ordered i appear to have a bizzare number of seeds.

I was wondering how many do other people have.

My number is 179! ( packets not seeds )

shock !

55 but a lot are left over from last year

oh I have a few self collected seeds somewhere + pots and onions n stuff to get

179 does seem a tad excessive how big is your lotty?

oh crikey cam 194 :o
500m2 here, two and a half plots - say 350m2 under cultivation, excluding g'house, paths, compost bins
erm it would appear you're not alone :-[

excuses?

several have just a few seeds
large variety of e.g. beetroot, squash
some won't be grown this year if their seeds will keep
some have lasted, and will last, a long time e.g. perennial herbs
I'll be offering some nearer the 'plant by' date
at least they're sorted out ::)

:-[

erm, did you include e.g. potato, fruit bushes and onion sets expected in the post :P

I've got 22 packets of onion seed for trials this year, some varieties are listed more than once as they're from different sources ::) <pleads with men in coats> ;D
