Allotments 4 All

Only went in to get some numbers for my plot and just couldn't resist it. Got some dahlia seeds named bishops children. They have dark foliage. Parsnip tender and true. Shirley Toms. Double busy lizzies and tobacco plants and some half price seed trays to sow them in. All of the seeds were 75%off. Will still buy most of my veg seed from real seeds though.

i found a Wlko near me but they only do car and bike stuff, not that i need more seeds.

Quotenot that i need more seeds.

You dont really mean that, though ;D

cj :)

Do you think if we wait long enough they will be free......... ;D

I'm driving past next Wednesday - if it's not raining I might - might - stop off and have a look ( ;) ;) yes, just a look)

no  ;)

I don't care what anyone says them two definitely have shares in Wilkos. ;D ;D ;D

I have a Wilko's right near me and I have been good so far, but oh gosh it is hard

Don't tell everyone Kev they will expect a discount lol

I went there this afternoon. Purely for price research ::) ::)

Anyway, to cut a short story even shorter, I bought £40 of seeds for £10 ;D

SHame the best stuff had already gone >:(

cj :)

and you call  me an addict!!!

Well done you !!

XX Jeannine


PS Is Wilko's and Wilkinsons the same!!

Think so.

Oh and by the way, I call you an addict in the best sense of the word ;D ;D ;D

cj :)

I am looking forward to the Daturas. I was fancying them in the T and M sale. I'm glad I didnt crack , as I got them a lot cheaper at Wilkos.

I have also had my eye on the vanilla marigolds for a while, and eryngiums looked interesting in the catalogues.

I love peppers, so got them to feed my addiction ;D

There werent any interesting tomato varieties :'(

Right then, anyone know when the Wyevale seed sale starts ::)

cj :)

It was early August last year I think, I know I had just started clearing my plot... ;D

Confession time!

I had to go to a different Wilkos today. Well, it seemed like a shame not to check what seeds they had left. ::)

I bought

Onion Bedfordshire Champion
Tomato Gardeners Delight
Tomato Tumbling Tom Red
Tomato Sweet Million f1
Cucumber telegraph Improved
Cucumber Marketmore
Wild rocket
Dahlia dwarf double mixed
Night Phlox Midnight Candy.

£10 worth for £2.50.

But I promise I wont go to any other Wilkinson stores in the near future.

Honest!!!!

Thanks Deb. Looking forward to it ;D

You are terrible, I am now tempted and will have to go to my local Wilco's tomorrow and investigate just in case I am missing something...... ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D
