Title: Big hand of applause to Franci seeds of Italy
Post by: Jeannine on March 14, 2007, 00:35:21
Ji, I ordered afew packets of seed for myself amd also 2 lots of the seeds for schools.

You get 7 packets of what they described as dog eared, faded but good seed packets for £3 and £1 50 postage.

They charged me just £1 50 to send my seeds plus the 14 packets of school seeds.

They sent me 19 packets fo the school seeds instead of 14, none of the packets were dogeared or faded. Here is what I recieved.

tomato..marglobe
cardoon...gobbo di nizza
endive...pancalieri a costa bianca
sweet pepper...carmagnola rosso
2 pkts pink onion tropea rossa tonda
lettuce...parella rossa
lettuce...tests di burro d'inverno
chard ...bionda di lione 2
parsley..riccio verde
dwarf french beans...vanguard
climbing yellow french bean..meraviglia di veneziz g.b.
climbing purple french bean...trionfo violetta
sugar pea ...gigante svizzero
spring onions...da mazzi
2 packets chives... erba cipollina
peppermint...menta piperita
french thyme...timo di provenzo


I think this is tremendous value for money

Well done Seeds of Italy and Franchi

When one considers what some seed companies charge that is outstanding value.

That is fantastic value - well done you!! :)

I've always found Franchi friendly and helpful to deal with.  Plus they are very generous when it comes to the amount of seed they put inside their packets too...
