Allotments 4 All

Lovely tho isnt it!  We cause no harm, other than to our bank accounts.  It won't hurt anyone when we are feeding our addiction, in fact, when everything grows, we will be providing healthcare to our families and friends when they partake in the freshly grown produce or flowers.  It isn't offensive, unless you are easily offended and those lewd chillis upset you  ;).  And, when you think about other addictions, our is actually quite cheap to maintain....I fear that is why we all find it so hard to kick the habbit!

just bought some more seeds: Tagetes Minuta :-[
(having read another thread about their mystical powers
destroyng ground elder, bindweed and couch grass :o)
hope they help!

4 new packs arrived today from Alan Romans :-[

But they were very cheap......honest.

I think sometimes the forum leads me astray too...just when I think I have all my allotment seeds sorted, I read about a new carrot or somesuch that someone has recommended and that compells me to make another purchase ;D

Then just as I am trying to be good, there is the seed swap parcel to tempt me, although as I put seeds in too technically that doesn't count does it!

Honestly, you are all very, very bad influences on me.... ;D and I am not going to tell how many packets of seeds I have because I am too ashamed to count... :-[ but it is quite a lot... ::)

Go on we dare you, and I promise to count my tomatoes if you do XX Jeannine

Thing is, its the seed buying itself that may be the baddie - we could just organise more seed swaps and sharing the umpteen-thousand seeds in a packet of something that will be more than we will need for a few seasons! Just grabbed a 2006 catalogue - how long would 1200 seeds of a lettuce variety last?

Oh I can beat that lettuce,I buy from one place where they offer a) sample size
b) regular packet c) 1/4 ounce and so on..last time I bought my favourite lettuce which I uses a baby leaves I ought a 28gram packet which I have in front of me now,approx 30,000 seeds, this is the gospel truth

Does anyone need any Simpson Elite similar to a black seeded Simpson. Large ruffled light green leaves, slow to bolt. I am serious. XX Jeannine

Can you beat my father sowing 3 rows of webbs wonderful at once - these had perfect germination, therefore we had 3 rows of excess lettuce to rid on our neighbours, family's work colleagues....

John is working out,with 30,000 seeds , I could eat a full lettuce every  for 82 1/2 years before I ran out XX

I have many hundreds of packets of seeds. Two full shoeboxes. Its like an obsession.
