I applied for some free seeds from beeb a couple of years ago within minutes of them saying about them on TV.  ALl I got was loads of emails from seed companies.  Though this did at least notify me when T&M had their end of season half price offers on.

Got mine today, too. I was very pleased - didn't really expect to get them because of the huge demand there was bound to be.  Well worth paying my tv licence fee then.  ;)   ;D

Nothing received here and loads of friends are eagerly waiting too.

 Not worried the seeds cost is very little. It would just have been nice to get some.

I'm going to keep mine away from my youngest daughter. She developed a habit of putting stickers from apples onto the fridge. I didn't mind till I found when I eventually peeled them off they left all the glue behind on the fridge door.  ::)

Seeds all sown now.  Those plants will all apparently belong to youngest daughter. I wish her good luck with them.  :)

even tho i applied b4 the website said it had run out, ive had an email generic one from the beeb n says all seeds gone now, im assuming that means we missed out, such a shame, kids would be over the moon and everytime the shop sites open they pest me to go buy seeds... today we got green artichoke and tarragon and raddishes, lol, could do with some freebies tho!!
i think i like it here :D now who can tell me how to grow my own chocolate???

Got mine today. Fine apart from they were soaked thanks to my dumb postman.
To be honest all my stuffs in now, but I may use them for my sequential sowing.
Non the less thanks for the tip and good old BBC (I say that a lot to be honest.)
