Was in my local Poundland yesterday and got 15 different types of seeds for £3, just wanted to let you all know its £1 for a mixed packet.

I got

Pack 1 - Peas & Beans
  • Pea (Early Onwards) x 75 seeds
  • Runner Bean (Scarlet Emperor) x 15 seeds
  • Pea (Greenshaft) x 75 seeds

Pack 2 - Fresh Vegetables
  • Beetroot (Detroit) x 60 seeds
  • Carrot (Nantes) x 350 seeds
  • Cabbage (ormskirk savoury) x 50 seeds
  • Broccoli (Purple sprouting early) x 75 seeds
  • Onion (Rijnsberger) x 100 seeds
  • Cauliflower (all the year round) x 50 seeds

Pack 3 - Salsa
  • Tomato (Alicante) x 80 seeds
  • Red Onion (Karmen) x 60 seeds
  • Coriander (coriandrum) x 80 seeds
  • Tomato (Marmande) x 40 seeds
  • Red Pepper (Robertina) x 10 seeds
  • Chilli pepper (Jalapeno) x 10 seeds

The had another kind of pack with borlotti beans in and another vegetable pack too, saw borlotti beans for £3 just themselves a pack in my local garden centre, they didn't have a lot, but recognised some of the variety names so hopefully they'll come up well next year.

Just need my seed potatoes and im all set.

    There's also the Mediterranean pack in Poundland:

    Aubergine (Black Beauty) * 20
    Rocket Salad * 200
    Courgette (Green Bush) * 10
    Sweet Pepper (Mediterranean) * 10
    Oregano * 250
    Tomato (Plum Roma) * 40

    Just to mention the other offers, Poundstretcher are doing most of their seeds for 19p per packet which seems a better deal if you want to grow loads because they have lots of seeds in a packet, so you can get stuff like:

    Tomato (Gardener's Delight) * 140
    Tomato (Moneymaker) * 70
    Cabbage (Golden Acre Primo (II)) * 250
    Spinach (Leaf Beet) * 250
    Leek (Musselburgh) * 350
    Sweet Peppers (Worldbeater) * 45
    Cos Lettuce (Little Gem) * 900
    Brussels Sprouts (Roodnerf - Seven Hills) * 300
    Beetroot (Globe 2) * 250
    Beetroot (Boltardy) * 250
    Carrot (Autumn King 2) * 1100
    Carrot (Early Nantes 2) * 1100
    etc

    I notice one of my two local Wilkinsons are selling their higher end "Johnsons" seeds for half price. So, there's a six pack of different courgette varieties going for £2, instead of £4. Same with tomatoes, and of course other stuff.
