Topic: Keep an eye out for 50p seeds at Wyevales...

[Deb P]

I also went along this morning and asked, they said they were 'waiting for a head office communication to start it'...so it does seem it is coming soon! I had a look and they do seem to have sold quite a bit of their 50% off seeds, and lots of people still purchasing it seems.... :-\

[Amazin]

Big Tas to Ollie & Deb - gearing up now, just sharpening my elbows!

 ;D

[OllieC]

I just called the Woking branch - it's live from Tomorrow (Thursday) but they said they can do it today, there just won't be any signs up!

That's me off to Woking then!

[OllieC]

Well, that's me just bought most of next year's seeds - £18.50 for a packet price of £84!!! And only a few that I don't need. Much less choice than last year, which I guess is better for them!

[raisedbedted]

Our local wyevale had very little, then I remembered an oft forgotten Wyeval that I never normally bother with.

Full choice, came out £45 poorer but 90 packs ( value £195 ) better off   ;D

Not all for me though which is just as well as I've already got 30 odd packs for next year plus my usual favourites that I can only get mail order, oh dear better go to 3 plots next year  ;D

[Deb P]

Oh now that is not fair...I've been working a 12 hour shift today and again  tomorrow, so I won't get there until Saturday! Stamps foot and throws hissy fit!!

I've got part of the afternoon free tomorrow, and we have a Wyevale near us at Fair Oak so will take a trip down there with some dosh in my hot sticky hand and see what I come back with  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

[lasder99]

I called into my local Wyvale near Hemel Hempstead this afternoon and they had'nt started yet - told me they were not doing it until after the weekend.
Maybe the manager's on holiday !

Thanks for the tip, Ollie  :-* :-* :-*

It was the first time I had been to Wyevales, I spent ages there, spent a lot of money, including £11.50 on seeds!  Worked out they would have cost £54, so it was worth the trip. They had some nice healthy herbs too, so I got some rosemary, thyme and lavender for the plot to attract the bees etc.

[Tulipa]

I think I have bought all my seeds for next year today, thanks Ollie.  Also got three planters reduced from £14.99 to £2 with plants in that will give another month of colour and the pots are worth more than £2 each!  And another couple of half price bedding dahlias which will look good for a while yet.  Am feeling really chuffed!  Will have to add up and see how much I saved.

And I got my 10% off with their card, was amazed to get 10% off the 50p seed packets!

Thanks Ollie. :) :) :) :)

I went to the one in Crews Hill (Enfield) today. The seeds were 50p a packet but they were moving loads of other stuff around - I reckon the sale won't get into full swing until tomorrow.

Anyway, spent £47, seed value £201.

I concentrated on getting doubles (or more) of things I really like and also more flowers and companion plants. Best bargains I suppose were the variety multi packs e.g. 5 varieties of sweetpeas,  3 varieties of runner beans, etc. They also included packs of green manure seeds (normal price £3.99) which I didn't notice last year.

I think they'll be adding more seeds as time goes on...

oh dear...

 ;)

Thanks, I might go tomorrow, live in Enfield so not too far to go.
