you sure it's kitchen garden magazine, gunnerbee, I'm reading my april issue, no seeds came with it and there's nothing to say there should be free seeds with it  ???
the only mag I can find with free seeds is let's grow veg..10 free packs of seed but costs 7.99
I want my free seeds !!!!  ;D

Think I might have solved the mystery chaps and chapesses...but it means going to Tesco by the look of it!!
If this is right it's the Spring edition of  'Let's Grow Veg' not Kitchen Garden magazine....

Suppose it`s a come-on to get new readers but not fair on loyal subscribers!
I`m definitely miffed! >:(

Both Lets Grow Veg and Kitchen Garden Magazines have 10 free packets of seeds in at Tesco. All Mr Fothergills and good varieties with lots of seeds in each packet.
Lets grow veg is a bit steep at £7.99 but with the seeds its not so bad. Carrot, lettuce, chilli, radish, tomato, brussel, celery, coriander, parsnip and cabbage.

Unfortunately not much use when the nearest Tesco store is 47.3 miles away. I think I will stick to buying the seeds I actually want rather than go out of my way to get freebies, it's cheaper.

That's expensive.  It would be cheaper to try and get the seeds you want in the Swop shop forum. Or, wait for Morrisons sale as they reduce their seeds by 75% quite early.

Hey Baccy Man - does your Tesco deliver, even at £6.99, the dearest, it would be a bargain ;D

my tesco doesn,t sell Kitchen garden in fact you cannot get it anywhere here

got an e mail back, apologies but it's too long to post..to summarise, they had this offer to get new customers but, as I subscribe, and get my magazines cheaper, etc, etc..anyway, if I would give him my full address, he has a few collections left and he would send me one collection..anyway, still trying to decide what to do as I already have 2 year's worth of kg..maybe I'll cancel and buy then as and when I want one  ;D

My tesco has got it!! they have just started . the seeds are a introduction offer. the fact that I don,t need the seeds having got all I need doesn,t stop me from feeling cheated ( and yes I know we can,t have too many, just trying to convince myself)
