Allotments 4 All

As above. Get to your local Netto nice and early. I called in my local Netto on the off chance as I thought they might stock the shelves with the seeds today. They only had the flower seeds on display, but a nice assistant fetched the veg seeds from the back room and let me have the pick of the bunch to myself.
I bought 27 packets of seeds for £5.13.
They are DT Browns.
Set your alarm clocks and get a bargain!!!
John ;)

Wish I could we don't have Netto here in Scotland.   :(

If I get any more seeds I'll have to build another extension on the house :-[

Thank's John i will pop in there to-morrow.

Thanks John, just been and bought mine. Amongst them were Hurst Greenshaft peas. I called into Homebase afterwards and the same peas were £1.99 ::)

I haven't got a Netto's but there is an Aldi's here. Do Aldi sell seeds?

Aldi did last year - cheap but not that cheap

I grew aldi's side by side with some "quality" seeds - the quaity seeds seemed to do better especially leeks and caulis

this may just be me :-)

Thanks JohnnyLarge, bought 13 packets for £2.48.  That's got to be the bargain of the year for seeds!  Now I've just got to find enough allotment to grow all my seeds and plants in!

Will have to wait till Saturday  but thanks for letting us know.

Its not fair, no Netto here or for miles. someone pick me up a fivers worth!!!!

Hi gunnerbee, I'll pick you up a fivers worth if you want me to. Mail me with any preferences. They do flower as well as veg seeds.

Thanks for the tip off Johnny, just been down and got a dozen packets :) :) :)

Yes, thanks for the tip. I went down yesterday and got 44 packets!  ;D

Enough to sort out the annuals and bedding plants for the garden as well as quite a bit of veg.
Just have to find somewhere to get them all started now.....

At the risk of sounding totally stupid - what does Netto stand for.  I must admit I have never seen one of those shops down here in Dorset? ???

Sorry to make it worse I am originally from South Africa and have only been in Dorset for 14 months. :-\

No Netto in Leicester but I got most of what I wanted at the end last year from Wilko with 75% off. I've kept them cool and dry so I just hope they come up :D
Thanks

Is Netto a hardware store. I have never seen one and have lived through my life in various parts of England?

Small supermarket chain. Cheap food, cheap booze, cheap range of hardware / household goods. The emphasis is on cheap not on any other quality.

Whilst I agree with Larkspur, cheap does not always mean poor quality. A lot of the foodstuffs at Netto are made in the same factories as the well-known brands.
Some of the cakes and chocolate are particularly nice. We always did our shopping at Morrisons and Tesco. Now we always pop into Netto on our way to Tesco and check on the bargains.
What puzzles me is how can Netto sell DT Browns seeds at 19p, when they are normally about £1 anywhere else?
John :)

John, didn't necessarily mean to impune the quality, just that the emphasis is on prices, so I agree with you too. ;D
Like you I am amazed that they can sell such a reputable firm as D. T. Brown's seeds at .19p.

I`ve never even heard of Netto, let alone used them.
Most of my seeds I get from Alan Romans web site for 50p a Packet

Here's the link for the Netto Homepage.  They've got a store finder which is useful too. ;)

Can you maybe let us have the website address for Alan Roman.  Please
;D

Got mine yesterday from one of the Bradford branches - 13 packets for only £2.47!  :)I couldn't find any so I asked and they were still in the boxes and hadn't even been put out yet, so I had a choice of everthing they had. I already had seeds I'd ordered from Dobies and Thomson and Morgan so I now need a bigger tin to keep them all in. This site is so good for this sort of information. I would never have known about the cheap seeds otherwise. Thanks for letting us know. :-*

Hi, just recieved my seeds from Larkspur, many thanks, makes me pig sick that i just got my dt brown seeds through the post that i paid £40 odd quid for GRRRRRRRRRR, the ones from Netto have a nice picture of the veggies on the front of the packets, the ones from dt browns are plain. thumbs up to Netto and Larkspur!!!!!!

Glad they arrived safely gunnerbee ;D

Thanks yes, have sent you an email.

Payment received gunnersbeee. Many thanks. Mick. :)

thanks for the tip   ;D

Hi folks - I picked up a few packets in Shrewsbury Netto yesterday - couldn't believe the price. Needless to say there weren't many left but I did get a packet of sweet corn, an F1 variety called "Silver Dew", 20 seeds. Funnily enough I can't find a reference to this variety anywhere online, even on DT Brown's own website. A special line for this offer perhaps? Odd, hope there's nothing wrong with them.

I thought maybe they kept the price down by putting in far fewer seeds (which would be acceptable - usually you get far too many) then I saw that the packet of Autumn King 2 carrots contains at least 2,000.

Always happy to get a bargain...! ;D

Chrissie

picked up 6 packets at the w/e ... like I need more seeds ... sigh, will have to make more paper pots now  ;)
