We'll see what we get this year. A lot of last years' seeds seem to have ended up in seed swaps, but no doubt someone made use of them!

Oh......I just signed up for mine. I guess anything free at this time of year, being late is to be expected :-\
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

Mine came too late last year so I have kept them for this year. The e-mail for this years has just gone off so hopefully will get both lots going.

I am amazed that my Butternut Squash site has a link from Dig In.

Mine arrived this morning too - nice stickers for children, so I am going to hand over the lot to grandsons (4 and 3) for their mother's allotment.

Is anyone else still waiting for their seeds? I had an e-mail confirming that I would receive them, but I'm still waiting!

We have got ours It took so long I thought the e-mail had not gone through so sent another and have two lots.

Last years came too late so they are being used this year and the tomatoes are already up and raring to go.

They wont be wasted at all and certainly will not go into any seed swaps.

With all the BBC offers. I think the license fee is well worth the money. Poor souls in other lands think it is terrible we are taxed to watch TV but having seen the quality of their canned laughter programmes, and interruptions of adverts during programmes. I say long live the BBC, the NHS and God Save the Queen.

Just had to plant the carrots, my youngest pinched the packet and opened it  ::) ;D
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

hehe

It was the same packet that had already had Ribena spilt on it (and been dried out), thought it best to plant em incase the seeds were wet/damp.
