And you forgot to mention, Tee Gee, that Kings also give a discount to the Society: 7.5% if you order seeds early, plus another 10% (including the potatoes). We got nearly £60 last year. Although this year's take-up hasn't been as good. Is it just the lack of photos? When do you start putting your catalogues out? And when is your cut-off date? Ours is today, which seems a tad early, but does ensure that we get autumn onions & garlic in time to actually plant them.Mind you, because of the weather, there just haven't been the folks around en masse to hand out the catalogues to, and we don't have a communal building where we can leave them. Any ideas?
so they have increased the price considerably! As you say Tee Gee - a rip-off!I sowed the last two seeds this year - only one germinated and the other one grew a cristate stem and didn't produce a single cucumber!
The onlt time to buy Carmen is when they come as a first packet free or when on half price..and they last several years so I am still ahead of them. would rather buy an ounce of seeds and share the surplus rather than pay a bit less for just a pinch.
Tee Gee, do you have any problem 'persuading' people to order from the Kings catalogue? We find that the lack of photos tends to put some of our plotholders off.

Did you take into account the no of seeds in the packet. quite a few of their packets are shinking fast.
There are plenty of other (better) seed merchantsNow just forget you ever heard about them!!!!
