I just went out to the greenhouse to water my plants only to find them all over the floor and I couldn't save any, I was already weeks behind because I have an injured shoulder but now it looks like I'll have nothing to grow this year because I simply can't afford to replace my seeds.
Gutted.
what sort of stuff do you need, mick, I've loads of seed over :)

I was just going to say the same thing - I was a bit ambitious with the seeds I bought this year!
Doesn't look like I'll be doing anything this year Mick so have plenty to spare if you let me know what you need?
Posie
I have quite a few basic seeds if you need them, just let me know
To be honest, I'm so down about it I'd give anything a go, I normally have a set list if what I grow but I've just got right into cooking so would try anything.
Mick sorry to hear about your seedling mayhem.
Please post a list of stuff you had growing .
I'm sure I have stuff I can send you.
Lauren :)

I'd post a wish list then, There seems to be a few peolpe reading this so we must be able to sort you out :)
Sorry to hear that. I'd be gutted too. What was it - kids/weather/animals?
Post a list of the kind of things you like to grow - I've got loads of spare seeds and I'm sure a few of the other seedaholics do too!
Lauren S, your blog is in my favs...
A list...
I hadn't got anything in the ground yet...
Runner beans purple queen and streamline
Pea Kelvedon Wonder
Cabbage Minicole F1
Cauliflower Wallaby
Courgette All Green Bush
I could type a full list for hours but as I said if anyone can spare a few seeds I'd be happy to grow them and will post up how they went.
I'd just like to say thank you for your kind words and offers.
To answer ceres's question, it was down to the weather, I thought I 'd placed the greenhouse (one of those plastic ones) well as it was against a fence on two sides but it looks like I was wrong.
mick im sorry to hear about this if you pm me your address ill send you some stuff ok i have far too many seeds for what i need cos i only have a garden and im very happy to share, perhaps you should list anything you really dont want ok
i got loads of seeds, runners, climbing french beans, toms, peas, squash, betroot, onionms, carrots, etc, pm me your address? ;)
I don't have any of those varieties but have plenty of others, so if you don't mind trying some alternatives, pm your address and I'll pop some in the post.
Plastic greenhouses have their uses but they're also accidents waiting to happen! At least it's happened early enough that you can get sowing again and still get things in the ground on time.
I have got Kelvedon Wonder and Green Bush - if you let me know your addy then I can send some on.
sorts of stuff ?
squash, cucumber, toms?
Sorry about your damage Mick.
got some Minicole F1s
PM your addy and iwill send you a pkt
theres still time , dont get down hearted.
i have a few spare seeds pm me your addy and i will send some! ;)
I don't have that cauliflower but i think i have the rest spare. If you still need them pm me you address and i'll sort it ;D
I've got All Green Bush, Minicole & a few spare mini-caulis (can't remember the type now!) & prob a few other bits & bobs you could use.
Let me know if you want anything. It happened to me a couple of years ago before I got my glass greenhouse & it's heartbreaking.
Thanks for all the very kind offers, maybe I will get something on my plot this year after all. :)
Now I know I will NEVER buy a plastic greenhouse. Good luck with the new start, Mick.
They're OK as long as they're well anchored. They need a solid base screwed down into breezeblocks or something equally heavy.
Not sure what to write here...
I have had loads of seeds sent to me, its truly amazing, I have sent everyone a PM thanking them for their kindness but someone didn't put a name on the package they sent so I thought I'd better say thank you here...
Thank you to everyone who sent or made me an offer of seeds you're all fab...
Mick, I've only just seen this and I'm sorry to hear your loss but pleased to hear you're getting more positive now - and yes, great peeps here 8) :-*
Don't forget, tho, to put any other wish-list things into swap shop - we don't actually want swaps and are always happy to seeds seeds go to good homes...
now then...tumbling tomatoes perhaps? (seems approppriate ;)) And how about a couple of sunflower seeds to cheer you up 8) ;D
As it happens, there both seeds I haven't got.
So if you want some PM me your address Mick
Hi Mick,
Like Hyacinth, I've only just seen this. Please PM me if there are any gaps - I'm long on most things this year, for instance sweetcorn Kite and TZ6157, leeks and dwarf french beans.
