Topic: wyvale 50p seed sale

[Sparkly]

Anyone know whether it has started yet?

[saddad]

Was going to call in yesterday as I was passing but it had gone four...  :-\

[OllieC]

I think 2 years ago it was 18th August, last year it was about a week later... I remember starting a thread last year but can't find it now...

[grannyjanny]

Not started today.

Went in t my local branch just over a week ago now and they had a 1/2 price sale on seeds.
Managed to get them into the house with out the mrs seeing them as well ;D

[Hyacinth]

I called in yesterday to my local shop in Brum - still 50% off.

[asbean]

I believe they start off at 50% then go down to 50p after a couple of weeks.  I think they went down to 50p around the middle/end of August last year.

We went into what used to be Wyvales but is now called something else and their seeds were half price. Of course we had some  ;D and then we went back to Sutton and Wilkies had reduced theirs at last but the Broad beans We wanted had all gone bar one packet, had that and with the one we got from the ex -wyvale we are sorted.Have to get me hands on some Cavilli courgette and some Ledgend Tomato's and that will be that. ;D Who am I trying to kid eh!

[Deb P]

Right, went in today at our local branch, best bit was the seeds were all still on the racks so really easy to look through rather than having to search through packets in lots of baskets! They tried to charge me 50p for a packet of tomato seeds that should have been free with more than 3 packets, so me and the next woman in the queue put them back! ::)

Spent £10 exactly , just totted up the packets, £48.60's worth of seeds there. 8) Most expensive packet: Bella F1 cucumbers seeds, £4.45 for 4 seeds!

There were lots of multi packets of Sunflowers and salads, very few courgettes, (no Cavilli unfortunately) quite a few 'Dutchy Original' seeds (all normally expensive: £3.99 for 4 Atris Sweet Pepper seeds!) and a few Franchi. Not bad! ;D

[saddad]

Spent £20... lots of Minipop and Ovation corn.. some chilli, Sweet pea and Sunflower collection...  :)

Had two cracks through mine.... mostly high value stuff that I want for next year though also some stuff for swapping.... I've got a lot of all-female mini cucumbers, can never justify spending 4 quid on a pack of five seeds, but two quid for twenty and know that I'll be able to swap them is a better bet......Also got peas and beans to overwinter azas well as carrots and green manure to go in now.....
