Don't know about all of you but I get quite excited about free seeds, I have far too many but I can't stop myself!!!

This year I've only seen free seeds on the heinz fb page (not received yet)

Has anyone seen any offers elsewhere?

    I love free seeds too! BBC dig in a couple of years ago was great.
    I haven't seen anywhere near as many free seed offers this year either.

    Nooo, please, no more seeds! Free ones are too, too tempting... I have three biscuit tins full of new and half-used packets and I'm in need of an extension... both to the garden, and to the biscuit tin collection.

    I'm still growing some seeds that were "plant by 2009", and getting good enough germination...

    Mind you, if there are free seeds out there.... I'm sure i can force some more chocolate biscuits down :D

    No, because you paid Mr Tesco good money for Kitchen Garden.:p So not free.
