£10 Lucky Dip seeds for £1

Comments

  • This no longer seems to work fully for me.

    When you use the £1 lucky dip seeds offer, the discount code is already filled in for you (the box at top of page). When you delete this and add the free postage code well,yes, you get the free postage but the seed price reverts to £10.

    In other words, you can have either one or the other discounts but not both at the same time. The voucher code at the botttom is not recognised for either codes

    That's a great idea to put one in the mother's day card !!! Thanks for that... as I bought 5 sets hoping they would be all different... Lucky Dip !!!!

    Cheers

    Too late for this year's mother's day - probably, but I saved a link a while ago to a blog showing you how to make seed paper - i.e. hand-made paper with seeds in that you send as a card or gift-tag so that the recipient can 'plant' the card. I's great for small hardy annual seeds, so I think the Legousia Pentagosia seeds would work well - they are in a plain packet too, so don't look so good as a gift on their own. I've never tried it myself, but it looks so easy - must find the time to have a go! Here's the link

    Wow they look lovely! My partner is rolling his eyes at yet another thing I will be making :rotfl::rotfl: thanks to this site (users) I was thinking of saving some of my seeds and making a garden hampers filled with all gardening items and seeds, for gifts these would be perfect... :D

    My seeds arrived today! I was waiting for an old order that should have arrived and now it has to be re-ordered, so more waiting.

    Mine arrived today. I have

    Sweet pea fragrantissima
    Cosmos Snow puff
    Erigeron Karvinskianus profusion
    Coreopsis Tinctor
    Pennisetum Purple Majesty

    AND (wait for it)

    Cimifuga Racemosa (What???)
    Instructions for sowing say put on tray, cover lightly, then keep at 21C for 3 months, 3 months in fridge, return to 21C. Germination slow. If germination has not occured within this period repeat the cycle.

    It may be next year before anything happens. Hope it's worth it, haven't checked on T&M yet to see what it is. No veg which I could have done with - I can perhaps trade some seedlings for my friend's excess runner beans later in the year.
    *Checked T&M, it's a lovely purple foliage plant, cream flowers, buttercup family, medicinal, but may have some side effects. I'll have to read up on it
  • Mine came today. Received:
    2x Tagetes Starfire
    2x Laurentia Avant-Garde Blue
    1x Cornflower Dairy Maid
    1x dianthus siberian blues

    Bit annoyed not to get any veg as I only have a balcony and space is at a premium. Haven't even heard of most of these!!!

    But then, at least I got them, still waiting on patio trees I ordered in February :eek:... yes, trees, three of them, for my balcony :rotfl:

    Ordered some Pepino seeds (2nd attempt with them this year) does anyone else grow them?
