Seed collection in Sainsbury's magazine

Apologies if this has already been posted (I did a search to check).

The latest Sainsbury's in-store magazine has an offer of 10 varieties of seed for £2.99 postage. You don't have to buy the magazine to take advantage of the offer - you can order online at thegardenplot.co.uk/sainsburys, although the website wouldn't work for me (in Chrome or Firefox) so I've resorted to an old-fashioned cheque in an envelope!

The varieties on offer are Aubergine Black Beauty, Beetroot Burpees Gold, Broccoli Early Sprouting Purple, Carrot early Nantes, Celery Golden Self Blanching, Courgette Bush Black Beauty, Leek Musselburgh, Onion Rijnsbuger, Parsnip Tender & True & Tomato Roma.

Don't know much about the varieties (although I've grown Leek Musselburgh successfully this year and Roma is a nice plum tomato that did quite well for me outdoors), but the image on the website isn't an accurate representation of the selection you'll get (no basil, spring onions, radishes, parsley, etc).

Also I don't know anything about the suppliers, but for £2.99, it's not too much of a risk.

    You using Firefox? I found it only worked in Internet Explorer.

  • Has anyone got their seeds from this offer yet? I am thinking of maybe doing this?

    I ordered on 5th Feb and got my order today,BUT got a different set of seeds to the ones advertised. I actually got 13 packets and am fine with the change (got some yellow chard and artichoke seeds which I have never grown before), except I was hoping for the celery seeds. I emailed about the changes so will see what they say. If I have to will order some celery seeds elsewhere.

    The seeds I actually got were, Coriander, french parsley,sweet basil, courgette black beauty, little gems, tom maskarena, chilli jalapeno, carrot chantenay, spring onion lisbon, leek blue green winter,artichoke green globe,swiss yellow chard and radish french breakfast.

    OK had a look through the magazine/bumf they sent with the seeds and there is a compliment slip apologising and confirming the replacement. As the offer is still on as previously listed if you order you may get that set or this replacement set.
