  • Our allotment site has a seed swap maybe you could find one locally and do some exchanges to get a wider variety

    ETA I am not suggesting you take Aldi lettuce and grab all the expensive seeds but it can widen your selection

    In our local Sainsburys I just bought March edition of Kitchen Garden which was in a sealed bag that had Sainsburys on it. Inside were 12 packs of seeds, not bad for £3.99 outlay, I thought.

    Seeds are:

    Mr Fothergill's Tomato Moneymaker
    Radish - Scarlet Globe
    Pepper - Sweet California Wonder
    Onion - (Spring) White Lisbon
    Watercress - Aqua
    Mizuna
    Basil - Red Leaved
    Cucumber - Marketmore 76
    Rocket
    Lettuce

    D.T. Brown Parsnip White Gem
    Beetroot Cylindra
  • Dud you know you can use tescoclubcard points with Thompson & Morgan. £5 voucher equals £15 spend but be aware you can only use 3 per order. Just bought 260 seed potatoes for £5 ( postage) an outlay of £15 in vouchers!

    I just bought a bag of watercress from sainsbobs... on offer for 50p

    I take the thickest stems and put them in a glass of water and they root very quickly. Then transplant them into wet compost and keep wet on a sunny windowsill. Quicker than growing from seed ;)
