Title: T&M seed bargains !
Post by: Deb P on August 22, 2006, 17:49:40
I've just been to my local Wyevale centre, I rarely venture down there as it's usually expensive for most stuff; However, they are offering loads of Thompson & Morgan vegetable and flower seeds for 25p per packet!! The one I got (and there were quite a few....) expire in 2007 or 2008, and they had expensive packets like Sungella tomatoes that are usually nearly £3! I don't know if this a countrywide offer or just in Derby, but it's worth checking out.... :)

Looks like it is a national offer - I spent a modest £4 on 25p packet seeds at Wyevale in Osterley.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the tip off.

I didn't think I had one near me, until I looked on the internet, and found one half an hour away.

Well worth the trip, spent £12.

It was like searching throu a treasure chest.
