If you subscripe to Kitchen Garden mag you will have probably seen this advert, but there is a new website offering seeds for 50p a packet, orders over a fiver, no postage and packing. The site is www.alanromans.com and has been launched by the potato guru Alan Romans who is apparently fed up with expensive seeds. According to the mag, he is able to offer low priced because he doesn't use any fancy seed packets, the seeds just come in foil wrappers, the info for the seeds is provided on his website.
Just thought, with spring in the air, it might be worth a mention.
more seed temptation in my way..............don't let O.H. see!
Thanks very much EJ...just ordered some to try!! :)
Get thee behind me ... Emma J

My pleasure! Wish I had known about it in the autumn when I was working out my seed orders. Go on....be a devil....... :D
Thanks EJ - already got loads of veg seeds, so bought some flower seeds, well it's so cheap it would be a shame not too !!!
I am such a hypacrite......do you know.....I am too scared to look! I know I would spend! Maybe I should just have a little peek, just to see what all the fuss is about....................
All I can say is wow - now £5.50 lighter ta EJ!!!!
but what savings :)
Sam
Oooooooooooooooh!!
What did you bye then Pixie??
Nobbs :halo:
Phew. I had a look. And am glad to find nothing I wanted. Nothing too special there. I already have enough veg seeds to fill my whole garden. (but I'm not ripping out my prize aquilegias to accommodate them all!)
Oh thanks alot EJ! More seeds, like I don't have enough, I now have £6.50's worth more!! :D :D :D Great site and so cheap! Have sent it to favorites to be looked at, at the end of this year!
What are you lot like! Can't leave you alone for 5 minutes now can I. ;) :D
I couldn't help myself Emma Jane, when I saw the value offered I just thought it had to be worth a try. :)
I know that quality is important, but my father-in-law has had Sutton's seeds fail before, probably due to soil or climate conditions etc but they cost a small fortune. He brought a packet of carrot seeds from France a few years ago that were tremendous value and we all enjoyed the best crop of carrots he had ever grown. Was it the seeds or just a good year for carrots? Perhaps a combination of both?
Thanks for the link!! :D
Cheers EJ-Looks like great value
Thanks EJ! First year allotmenting & still tonnes of clearing to do ::) (see pic from first proper visit today!). But great deal, so I can start growing at home while I clear & don't have to have wasted a fortune if the odd crop fails!! Cheers! :)
What a great find EJ. Fantastic bargains. We have already started a list of veggies seeds we want and I haven't even looked at the flowers yet. Thanks EmmaJane. :) busy_lizzie
