Topic: Seed addiction S.A.A

[Tin Shed]

Oh heck, I had only got as far as thinking of separating them into different categories - beans, toms etc! Good thing the OH is out every Tuesday evening - by the end of his course the whole seed collection will be and ready to roll in the spring ;D
Then of course I have to give myself time to prepare for Potato Day in Feb!

Thanks everyone for making me smile. (bad day at work) I also hide the seeds from him in doors.  If he finds them, there Xmas presents for friends.

Gotta keep them on the pooter, I would never find anything if I looked through the packets..be warned you really are addicted when you start buying in bulk..1 pound weight of squash seeds makes a heck of a lot of plants ..but they were a real bargain!! Times this by the number of varieties..oh eck i think I should stop, I am beginning to feel guilty.

You are not alone... we care..you have done nothing wrong!!

I am determined to wait until at least March to order my last batch for next year

Oh dear, that's what we all say, Pippy. Then it's:
"Hang on a sec, what if their catalogue doesn't arrive?"
"What if their website crashes?"
"What if they're out of stock by then?"
"What if none of these things happen but THEY JUST WON'T LET ME HAVE THE SEEDS?"

Well, I'm not going through that again, so I've taken drastic action. My US orders went today. Jungle Seeds tomorrow.

And tonight I shall sleep at last.

I went into town today and passed a shoe shop - and thought - my shoebox full of seed packets is getting a bit full, I could do with another.

So ... ...  I made a discovery, very simple really:

DON'T BUY SHOES - BUY BOOTS - THE BOXES ARE BIGGER     


8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

DON'T BUY SHOES - BUY BOOTS

Good idea! My local branch has just about enough floor space for my collection.

 ;) ;D

I fell of the wagon  ::) ::) ::) have bought seeds from real seeds, jungle seeds and am about to place an order for some things from uncle bobby seeds ;D
Its a good thing I dont drink or smoke or I would never be able to afford my seed adiction ;D :o ::)

They're my other two hobbies!

[trinity]

my order came from jungle seeds one of the beans I ordered was not available so they put in 2 other types and said that when the ones I have ordered become available they will send me those as well :o :o :o
I will defiantly shop with them again ;D ;D ;D
They did not charge me for them as well ;D

Trinity - what a bonus! but do real seeds know that they are fuelling an addiction by giving out more seeds ;D ;D ;D

[Suzanne]

Baker Creek (USA) do the same - last order I got two free packets of seeds. Just had my order arrive from Bobbys seeds in Germany - also a free packet of seeds.

By the way my seed collection is on excel, is divided into wide alphabetically divided executive files I can segregate varieties. Individual files for roots, leaves and flowers, with fruits as a main file plus two seperate files to hold the beans and squash seeds. I plant by the moon so need seeds divided accordingly.

I also have a masterplan........no not the world domination thingy, that's next week..........but a masterplan showing me what to sow when. This is going to be taken to a new level this winter as I have just done Nick Hamiltons Vegetables all year round course which has set me off on management of varieties to get some crops (like caulis) fresh for 12 months of the year!

Is it okay if I do a maniacal little laugh in the corner now, without anyone dragging me off to a "facility" for my own good. 

[Jeannine]

Well I just have to gloat a bit here!! I have received many seed catalogues and tons of e mails from seed companies but I have not bought 1 seed ...maybe I am getting clean. XX Jeasnnine
