Hi
I have just finished cataloging my seeds ( veg, herb and flower ) and excluding what i have ordered i appear to have a bizzare number of seeds.
I was wondering how many do other people have.
My number is 179! ( packets not seeds )
shock !

-
OMG!!
-
i know some i only have one or 2 seeds and others i have like 300"!
i cant be alone!
-
Perhaps someone knows a helpline you could ring? :D ;D ;D
-
55 but a lot are left over from last year
oh I have a few self collected seeds somewhere + pots and onions n stuff to get
179 does seem a tad excessive how big is your lotty?
-
96ft by 40ft
-
The day has finally come Cambourne, the men in the white coats will be arriving shortly, please don't struggle just go quietly, take your medication and you will be back amongst us before you know it.
-
oh crikey cam 194 :o
500m2 here, two and a half plots - say 350m2 under cultivation, excluding g'house, paths, compost bins
erm it would appear you're not alone :-[
excuses?
several have just a few seeds
large variety of e.g. beetroot, squash
some won't be grown this year if their seeds will keep
some have lasted, and will last, a long time e.g. perennial herbs
I'll be offering some nearer the 'plant by' date
at least they're sorted out ::)
:-[
erm, did you include e.g. potato, fruit bushes and onion sets expected in the post :P
-
been taking my medicine since wednesday but still the men in white coats dont want to come near me till my cold has gone! 8)
nope but i did inlcude garlic.
and in adendum to your list some are the same type but different variatys ;D
feeling better i am now alone now!
-
I didn't include garlic :-[
quite a lot are saved seed from chums, does that count? ::)
-
You as well Sprout. THATS TWO STRAIGHT JACKETS PLEASE.
40 not including spuds and onions
-
My number is 179! ( packets not seeds )

Cambourne7
Are you sure you want more??????
Think you may have to have two more plots

-
Forgot to say mine now 37 including the 20 I got from Netto ;D
-
I've got 22 packets of onion seed for trials this year, some varieties are listed more than once as they're from different sources ::) <pleads with men in coats> ;D
-
106.. :-[ ;D
-
tabbycat welcome to te club
blubird yep i am sure ;D
-
Think I have about 45-46 not including permenant fruit trees / fruit plants
-
i have not included whats already in the ground... ;D
-
I refuse to even count them.... having 5 lotties and having spent £20 at Wyevale @ 25p per packet for the plant sale.... probably even more than Cam...
Medication, white coats,.... bring it on!!!!!
:-X
-
good man thats what the attitude!!!
your white coat, medication and a soft cell is right next to mine :-)
-
If the men in white coats come to get me, I'm going to hide in my shed. They'll never find me there....... (cue manic laughter);D ;D
-
Lets not even mention Cuttings Tubers and Bulbs why do you think I keep trying to give them away!
::)
-
Nope, not going to count. I fear I would be looking in the region of 200 packets of veggie seeds and a lot more flower/shrub seeds as I receive them from around the world, or from friends and rellies when they get them!
They're coming to take me away..ha ha..he he.. ho ho 8)
-
Well I have 5 biscuit tins jammed with packets, must be a similar number, so I am another candidate for the rubber cell ... :o

-
Erm, around 320 packets of veg seed I believe :-[
Is it very wrong to have them all listed alphabetically?
Only a few more varieties needed now though ;D

-
I think you've won that one hands down M-T....
Don't worry we'll come and visit!
;D
-
All hail Merry Tiller king of the rubber cell club ;D
-
nothing wrong with 320 packs of seeds.......but listed alphabetically.......on a spreadsheet ....... now that is scary ;D ;D
Are they listed by sowing times as well ;) ;D
I got a bit carried away with peas - 8 packs at the Wyevale sale earlier in the year, then two packs of Telephone and two packs of Alderman..........
-
The day has finally come Cambourne, the men in the white coats will be arriving shortly, please don't struggle just go quietly
But leave your seeds please ...... ;D
-
I can't compete with MT but my 150+ are on a spreadsheet, not alphabetical but grouped by type: brassica, roots, flowers etc - so could a small cell be reserved for me too in case my world domination plan fails?
I blame the internet.... ;D
-
I have world domination on my list right after giving power to the people ( and putting the people who annoy me aginst the wall citizin smith style) and once i have finished adding to my access DB of plants split by genus the harvest dates, url on where i can find information and where i have planted them.
-
only got 102 packs of seed, not counting the flower ones,
also got
2 plum trees, 3 apple trees, 5 pears, 2 cherries, 1 peach, 1 kiwi, 1 fig, 2 hazels lots of strawberries, we fit them in wherever we can, redcurrants, whitecurrants, blueberries, gooseberries, 2 vines, red raspberries, yellow raspberries a jostaberry and passionflowers, as you can see, we like our fruit ;D ;D
ops, forgot the rhubarb
-
:) Right how many straight jackets is that I lost count, but there will definitely be one on it's way to Luton. I thought nuts were for Christmas not the new year. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*
-
You can't have too many peas SMP1704... we usually go on to "Invade Poland" but it's been done and now in reverse???
Must try World Domination when I retire... first the allotment site... then the world!
;D
-
Hey what can I say, I have a lot of time on my hands when I'm working nights.
By the way, did you notice? My tomatoes are not only listed alphabetically but also by colour 8)
-
and time to fruiting?
:-X
-
Aha, plenty of room for another column or two on the spreadsheet, good thinking that man ;D
-
bush or cordon type, whilst you're at it ;)
-
All cordon so that'll save a bit of work
Oh by the way, guess what came in this morning's post, yes 5 packets of veg seed
-
Ah Sarah! Sanity at last! None of this determinate/indeterminate stuff.... ??? ::) ;)
-
I know I can't compete on the seed packet numbers but I'm just going to go away and count the seed catalogues.... I may be away for some time. ;)
-
spent the last hour and a half following a horrible day relaxing by tidying up my seeds
( Exam today and had to drive though some nasty weather to get there and then it took over 2 hours to get back)
Even took a picture :-)
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n61/cambourne7/seeds.jpg
even got to package up the 3 swaps i owe people :-) which will be going in the post tomorrow after the potato day visit :-)
-
We only got an allotment last september but we have been snapping seeds and at the last count we have 56 packets of veg and flowers all entered into a spreadsheet :)
-
Good start i am sure that by next year there will ba a 3 didget number...
-
I'm just concerned that I might hit four figures, .... at least half way there!
::)
-
haha
i think i need another drawer as i cant really fit any more in the one i have :-(
What you got your seeds in saddad?
-
Well, I'm obviously a mere novice, only 60 packets of seeds :( Still, I've only been growing veg since last spring, so who knows, in a few years, I may reach 3 figures too.
It really does get to be an obsession , doesnt it :o
cj :)
-
Well, I'm far behind but very proud of my 14 packs, 2 bags of potatoes and 1 of onion bulbs. ;D
Tina.
-
I daren't look ::) Got to sort them all out into date order this week and it's a mammoth task ::)
I'm addicted to seed-buying.
My rationale is: I don't buy shoes, clothes, make-up, handbags, take recreational drugs of any kind, go on holidays, go to the pub, have expensive haircuts etc.
Therefore I am entitled to peruse 'garden porn' (seed catalogues) at my leisure and buy whatever I desire :D
-
You girls are in the zone so don't start mixing with the cuckoo's nest gang or you will be dribbling from your mouth before you know it. :-X :P :P :P :P :P ;D
-
Ok, time to come clean, i've amassed 30 packets of veg seeds, 10 packets of flowers and 4 boxes of onioin sets, and i've only been collecting since January. Is this bad? :o ;D
-
i must have about 40 packets of seeds, flowers and veg. doesnt seem too bad till you take into account i dont actually have anywhere to grow them ;D
(i have 4 storage boxes for growing bunny greens, and i did have a plastic greenhouse but that died during the gales :()
