Topic: Which ones have you got?

[Doris_Pinks]

I have spent way too much money at Tuckers..who suggested them anyhow??!!!  My credit card company are rubbing their hands together with glee ;D (Mr. Pinks won't be when he sees how much I spent! :'( )
Oh and of course I STILL have all the seeds that I didn't manage to sow from this year too!! ::) Tis an obsession I tell ya! ;)

Oh don't get me started on seed purchases!  Why do I need to buy seeds, my sister has over 20 packs for me as a chrimble pressie.  That should be more than enough, but those descriptions, those pictures, those special offers....just toooo tempting!  I just casually drop into conversation phrases like....'just ordered a couple of packs of seeds'.....'great special offer...'.....'free postage and packing....'  :-\

Got my seeds from Tuckers  ;D

Got my T&M catalogue and have to say I was a little disappointed. Perhaps I didn't specifically ask for the veg catalogue, but all I got was a sad little flowers and veg combined one. Not much selection of veg, which I know is not their full range, there's loads more on their web site.

Oh well makes my choice easier - I will stick to kings or the Organic Catalogue. If I get any more I will get too confused  :-\

I have my wish lists written out for those, and even a basic list is still a lot of dosh. So I think i see seed swapping in my future  :D

Got my seed order from OGC today (well a few of them are to follow). Still waiting for T&M though.

On Saturday afternoon, I spent several happy hours filling in my order forms. Mr Aqui says I spent the whole time muttering away to myself. I said everything that I was wriitng onto the form. I turned at one point to see him grinning at me - he found it all very amusing! So hopefully my first packets of seed will be winging their way to me some time next week (or am I being rather optimistic!) I ended up spending about £45 (not including membership of HDRA and the heritage seed library!) eek - my poor cheque book.

[Multiveg]

You should get it early next week ;D, Aqui.

Hurry up T&M

[aquilegia]

Most impressed I am.

Posted four orders on Sunday (last week). First two packages of seeds arrived on Friday (luckily I caught the postman on my way out!) and another lot came on Saturday. Only waiting for T&M (typical that the most expensive should take the longest!)

Tuckers sent me an extra bulb of garlic free - I order two earlies and three lates, but they sent me four late (I didn't have room for it, so gave it to mum).

DT Brown sent me three free packets for ordering before end of November. Well actually they sent me two packets, even though it said three on the receipt (is it too picky to ask for the third one?) One was a pepper I was going to order from somewhere else and the other was an overwintering lettuce, that I was thinking of buying. cool!

How exciting for you Aqui!
I'm very excited, as I have just sent of an order to Seeds of Italy - but I have never heard of anyone else has used them - or had a good or bad experience of their seeds. The seeds obviously come from Italy and they seem very good value. Most excited about raddichio selection pack, pumpkin selection pack and unusual cardoon variety.
All will be revealed when they do or don't germinate I suppose!

received my seeds from T&M  ;D

Just waiting for the things on back order with Tuckers and OGC, and my strawberries from T&M

[Mrs Ava]

Sarah-b, I have ordered from Seeds of Italy before.  You think they are good value now, wait until the new year when they have a seed sale!  Cheap as chips!!  Had great success from their seeds, and was pleasantly suprised by the huge amount of seed in each packet.

Received Plants of Distinction catalogue whilst I was away, and they have a veggie section, and wow what great veggies!  Some very unusual things so I fear I may be forced to place yet another order!  This really is getting out of control!!
