Thanks for the reminder - was only wondering the other day if they would be doing it again this year. Still have my tomato seeds from last year to use up. Will make sure I get my order in for this year early so that the seeds don't arrive too late to plant this Spring. I remember mine took ages to arrive last year.

I had the same problem with late seeds, If I remember right they didn't have enough seeds and had to reorder and thats what caused the delay

Thanks to friends and family I ended up with half a dozen packs of bbc tomatoes so I should be ok for the next decade or 2 for tomatoes

Thanks, this looks really good, going to join and signed up for their newsletter :j

As my first year growing in pots in my yard, my local library are doing a seed swap next week. I've been cheeky and asked if they could possibly save me any, on the promise that I contribute next year! think it's a great idea that they do this.

I missed out on the seeds and unfortunately they are not coming to my area but at least I've got the growing guide. Thanks.

LilacPixie · 12 February 2010 at 11:16AM

WHere do you find out what areas they are hoping to visit??

enrich100 · 12 February 2010 at 2:19PM

They will have a schedule on their website but I would sugest ordering them online once they put the order form up on the 1st March
