thanks realfood any chance somebody can remind us nearer the time as I'm hopelessly forgetful :(
Bump for tomorrow :)
Their site isn't up yet :(.... even had a slightlyh hacky cruise aroiund unlinked bits of the BBC site and couldn't find it anywhere obvious :( :(
I've just had a look but can't see the offer either :(
I had an email not long ago and I think it said the seeds would be available from April 1st. But I don't know if you can a apply for them before that.
Just looked, new website now up, but seed ordering 'Coming soon'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/digin/ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/digin/)
The Dig In site is just brilliant !
Seems they are 'coming sooner' via cbeebies, try this if you can't wait

Thanks. Just ordered for the grandkids. :)

Thanks my order's in too x
basil, carrots, courgettes, mixed leaves and french beans
Candy for/from children :-[
Thanks for info..
Done. Thank you.
Done it, Thanks ;D
Thank You ;D
Yes, ordered, both my children loved doing this last year. I know lots of people who missed out, doubtless because people with no children signed up for this just for free seeds :(
my son got so excited last year I managed to convince him to eat loads and loads of different foods just because we had picked even one of the original ingredients from what he called "his veg"!
I hadn't the heart to tell him the carrots we were using we actually sugarsnax since they took so long to arrive last year. Having said that the sugarsnax we grew were really so sweet they rarely made it in the pot!
The site wont let me order. Keeps saying "Free Seeds Coming Soon"
psst
Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/grownups/about/programmes/greenballoonclub.shtml

Thanks to the Post creator for the tip.

Thank you, original poster, applied today :)
Mine arrived today.
my free digin seeds arrived today which was ace but so did seeds form ninns ,thanks for the original post and thanks for my first seeds from this site hope to return the the favour in the future
They did say just for the UK but I filled in the form online and put BC.Canada after the name of my town, then underneath I put my postcode...they arrived today, 5 packets with stickers and a little book.
I also got a free packet of carrot seeds a few days ago from a company I ordered a seed catalogue from.
It is sent as a freebie from the seedsman with a request to grow them and donate the harvest to a local feedbank..I thought that was rather a good idea.

I got mine for my 4 and 3 yr old grandsons. We've stuck the stickers along a radiator, matched the packets to the stickers, but now they are in Tenerife and I am looking after the seeds. Basil up already.
