75% off seeds @ wilkinsons
Just a quick heads up for those that don't go to the grabbit forums. Yesterday I went to my local wilkinsons and they had their own brand and Johnsons brand of seeds with 75% off. Not much left in the store I went to. I picked up some some tom seeds for 15p a packet. And they are ok until 2008. HTH Yours Calley
