Hi Guys just posted this as just seen in local paper. It's from the same company 'The Dig-In'. Will copy it below.

Hello everyone

First time starting a thread wahoo. Don't tell me off if this has been posted before, I've had a search but nothing came up.

In todays Evening Herald (page 16) it states that a BBC Health group will be in Plymouth City Centre (under the big screen in a van) giving away a free vegetable seed starter pack tomorrow FRIDAY 3rd + SATURDAY 4th (9:30 am - 5pm) Seeds included are tommies, lettuce, beetroot, butternut squash and carrots.

Its called The Dig-In Van and I think its aim is to encourage more people to grow their own veg.

It also states its the first stop of the tour so if you from another location it may be worth looking into.
