hi there
we used the seeds from Netto last year and we were surprised at how good they were given the cheap prices.
the broad beans we put in in nov are up and showing as are the peas.
i got asked numerous times where i got the sunflowers we put in along our bean trench. they were 'evening sun' and lasted for ages.
we've bought more for this year and we're hoping they are just as good
cheers teena

my evening sun were beautiful last year ... the mice helped themselves to the saved seed though, so had to get some more.
