Went to my local Wyevale today and they were taking all the packets of seed down from the display stands and marking them at 50p per packet.

Could this be the Wyevale great sell off? Think I might go back tomorrow ;D

last week ours had seeds at 50% off but this is a new offer, same as last year except they've made the price 50p instead of 25p :(

Still very cheap though ;D

I have just got back from Wyevale and have got 22 pkts of seeds for just £10.

Here's me thinking it would cost me a fortune to grow my own. ;D

I just put wyevale in the search engine and went straight to their site!

Here is a list of the seeds that I got today. I am not too good on varieties so I probably got some really poor quality ones. Comments welcome on all varieties(please!)

tomato- ruby f1 hybrid
tomato- gardeners delight(seed mat)
tomato- moneymaker(seed mat)
tomato-marmande-beef(seed mat)
runner bean- rotbluhende(the teanie beanie)
beetroot- boltardy(seed tape)
beetroot-chiogga pink
beetroot- solo f1 hybrid
parsnip- tender and true(seed tape)
parsnip- tender and true
pea- jaguar
sweetcorn- f1 swift
sweetcorn-f1 applause
brussel sprout- bedford
carrot- early nantes 5
pepper- summer salad mixed f1 hybrid
pepper-(giant vegetable) jumbo sweet
cucumber- marketmore
broad/fava bean- the sutton
cabbage- f1 poet
cabbage-savoy estoril f1 hybrid
rhubarb- glaskins perpetual
radish- scarlot globe
cauliflower-lateman

As its my first year of growing on my allotment instead of my back garden I have probably gone overboard, but at that price I think I could afford to.
;D

thank u so much for this! spent a tiny bit too much i think- came home with 45 packs- is also my first year down the lottie!

Far more disturbing than the number of pkts I bought was the huge pile of Christmas crakers on display.

Wonder if there will be any left by the time I get out of work tomorrow? :(

And I thought I was bad.............. ::)

A mere 59 packets, I only gave up looking because my back hurt from bending over rummaging! Lots of 'The Taste of Italy' and 'Eden Project' packets, that has cheered me up after working nights! ;D

Great! up and out early tomorrow then........not that I need anything, but i'm sure to find something ::)

mc55 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 19, 2007, 19:53:30 »

I was wondering what to do with myself tomorrow evening ;D ;D ;D

OllieC · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2007, 12:38:32 »

Hurrah! Just bought £97 worth of seeds for...... the grand sum of £23. Plus I got the bulb voucher FWIW. Quite a bit of what they're selling could still go in now too. Hmmm...

cambourne7 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2007, 12:44:39 »

its not fair the nearest place is an hour away for me!

(still tempted though)

Hmm, wish I'd found out about this earlier! Now will have to wait untill next weekend and hope there are still some left. Never been to Wyvale, but will be worth the cycle ride out if I can grab a few bargains for next year.
