If the men in white coats come to get me, I'm going to hide in my shed. They'll never find me there....... (cue manic laughter);D ;D

Nope, not going to count.  I fear I would be looking in the region of 200 packets of veggie seeds and a lot more flower/shrub seeds as I receive them from around the world, or from friends and rellies when they get them!

They're coming to take me away..ha ha..he he.. ho ho 8)

Erm, around 320 packets of veg seed I believe  :-[

Is it very wrong to have them all listed alphabetically?

Only a few more varieties needed now though ;D

nothing wrong with 320 packs of seeds.......but listed alphabetically.......on a spreadsheet ....... now that is scary ;D ;D

Are they listed by sowing times as well ;) ;D

I got a bit carried away with peas - 8 packs at the Wyevale sale earlier in the year, then two packs of Telephone and two packs of Alderman..........

I can't compete with MT but my 150+ are on a spreadsheet, not alphabetical but grouped by type: brassica, roots, flowers etc - so could a small cell be reserved for me too in case my world domination plan fails?

I blame the internet....  ;D

You can't have too many peas SMP1704... we usually go on to "Invade Poland" but it's been done and now in reverse???
Must try World Domination when I retire... first the allotment site... then the world!

Hey what can I say, I have a lot of time on my hands when I'm working nights.

By the way, did you notice? My tomatoes are not only listed alphabetically but also by colour 8)
