..............seed packets for next season   :D :D :D :D :D

I'm pawing them already!

T & M:
Aubergine Calliope
Carrot Parmex
Carrot Sweet Candle
Parsnip Tender and True
Raddish Rainbow Mixed
Sweetcorn Extra Tender and Sweet
Turnip Oasis
Penstemon Lilac Frost

I mustn't handle them too much or I won't be able to read the writing!

Anyone else as sad as me?  ;D

I've been through the catalogues marking things I'd like to try...  :)

Yep same here  ;D
I do a list then add more then delete some  ;D

got me kings seed order ready  ;D

I want to try red flowered broad beans from Plants of Distinction next year but £2. 25 for the seeds and £1.75  seems a bit expensive for 20 seeds.  I also want seed tapes which only Sutton's sell.  Does anyone else have problems choosing which catalogue to order from?  

Ninny, not sad at all, I think its completely rational, logical and normal behaviour. Just think how economical those seeds really are, not only a delish crop but all those hours of absorption just gazing at the packets. Sad no, not possibly!

Thanks JayB  :)

I've just added them to my seed file spreadsheet so I can sort by month of sowing and best before date (really, really sad now  :D).  T & M have started to use "packed for year ending date" instead of a best before date.  Another ruse by seed suppliers?

Ninny

I've started marking my catalogues too, even though i've got LOADS of seeds from the wyevale sell off !

ninny - I have a similar spreadsheet :) no best before date though.

I had seed counselling so I am waiting until the Spring.

Organic, T&M, Marshalls, Suttons, Jungle, Mr F ... ... I don't know where to start.  And all my "extras" have gone in the seed swap, so I have to start planning ... ... ...


WHY IS LIFE SO DIFFICULT ??? ??? ???


I COULD CRY  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I had a Wyevale moment... or two...  ::)

Only my chilli seeds so far - from www.thechillipeppercompany.co.uk

Serrano,
Early Jalapeno
Naga Morich
Santa Fe Grande
Tobasco
Peach Habanero
Congo Trinidad
Purrira
Fatalli
and of course.......
Peter Pepper.

I've almost finished my buyuing for next year... ebay was my very good friend plus swapping.... might swap for some others but from memory the only thing I'm now looking for is Cobra climbing beans.... might be able to swap for them or I'll be willing to pay ebay proces for a pack (60 for 2.50 inc postage IIRC)

it doesn't work, not worth paying for, you could spend the fees on more seeds  ;D

I have been shelling beans.  It is great therapy.  I am getting really bored with seeds.

I got loads from Wyevale so I do not need any more.

Though I am still waiting for Runner Bean Moonlight to appear on the Tozer site.

And then there's golden beetroot.....

I save lots of seed too!

Leek heads from the plot tonight  :)
