I just went out to the greenhouse to water my plants only to find them all over the floor and I couldn't save any, I was already weeks behind because I have an injured shoulder but now it looks like I'll have nothing to grow this year because I simply can't afford to replace my seeds.

Gutted.

I was just going to say the same thing - I was a bit ambitious with the seeds I bought this year!

Doesn't look like I'll be doing anything this year Mick so have plenty to spare if you let me know what you need?

What I lack in ability and experience, I make up for in sheer enthusiasm!!!

I have quite a few basic seeds if you need them, just let me know

Uncle Joshua

To be honest, I'm so down about it I'd give anything a go, I normally have a set list if what I grow but I've just got right into cooking so would try anything.

Mick sorry to hear about your seedling mayhem.

Please post a list of stuff you had growing .
I'm sure I have stuff I can send you.

Sorry to hear that.  I'd be gutted too.  What was it - kids/weather/animals?

Post a list of the kind of things you like to grow - I've got loads of spare seeds and I'm sure a few of the other seedaholics do too!

Lauren S, your blog is in my favs...

A list...

I hadn't got anything in the ground yet...

Runner beans purple queen and  streamline

Pea Kelvedon Wonder

Cabbage  Minicole F1

Cauliflower Wallaby

Courgette  All Green Bush

I could type a full list for hours but as I said if anyone can spare a few seeds I'd be happy to grow them and will post up how they went.

I'd just like to say thank you for your kind words and offers.

To answer  ceres's question, it was down to the weather, I thought I 'd placed the greenhouse (one of those plastic ones) well as it was against a fence on two sides but it looks like I was wrong.

debster

mick im sorry to hear about this if you pm me your address ill send you some stuff ok i have far too many seeds for what i need cos i only have a garden and im very happy to share, perhaps you should list anything you really dont want ok

tonybloke

i got loads of seeds, runners, climbing french beans, toms, peas, squash, betroot, onionms,  carrots, etc, pm me your address? ;)
You couldn't make it up!

ceres

I don't have any of those varieties but have plenty of others, so if you don't mind trying some alternatives, pm your address and I'll pop some in the post.

Plastic greenhouses have their uses but they're also accidents waiting to happen!  At least it's happened early enough that you can get sowing again and still get things in the ground on time.

Justy

I have got Kelvedon Wonder and Green Bush - if you let me know your addy then I can send some on.

manicscousers

Twoflower

I don't have that cauliflower but i think i have the rest spare. If you still need them pm me you address and i'll sort it ;D

Teej

I've got All Green Bush, Minicole & a few spare mini-caulis (can't remember the type now!) & prob a few other bits & bobs you could use.
Let me know if you want anything.  It happened to me a couple of years ago before I got my glass greenhouse & it's heartbreaking.

Uncle Joshua

Thanks for all the very kind offers, maybe I will get something on my plot this year after all.  :)
