Yes, ordered, both my children loved doing this last year. I know lots of people who missed out, doubtless because people with no children signed up for this just for free seeds  :(

my son got so excited last year I managed to convince him to eat loads and loads of different foods just because we had picked even one of the original ingredients from what he called "his veg"!

I hadn't the heart to tell him the carrots we were using we actually sugarsnax since they took so long to arrive last year. Having said that the sugarsnax we grew were really so sweet they rarely made it in the pot!

They did say just for the UK but I filled in the form online and put BC.Canada after the name of my town, then underneath I put my postcode...they arrived today, 5 packets with stickers and a little book.

I also got a free packet of carrot seeds a few days ago from a company I ordered a seed catalogue from.

It is sent as a freebie from the seedsman with a request to grow them and donate the harvest to a local feedbank..I thought that was rather a good idea.

I got mine for my 4 and 3 yr old grandsons. We've stuck the stickers along a radiator, matched the packets to the stickers, but now they are in Tenerife and I am looking after the seeds. Basil up already.
