In Sainsburys today I bought the March issue of Kitchen Garden magazine for £3.99 and it came with 12 packets of seeds

Parsnip White Gem
Cucumber Marketmore 76
Basil Red Leaved
Watercress Aqua
Radish Scarlet Globe
Pepper California Wonder
Spring onion White Lisbon
Tomato Moneymaker
Mizuna
Rocket
Lettuce Salad Bowl
Beet root Cylindra

Seed prices add up to £19.78

Bargain!

I wouldn't argue with any of those, other than 'Moneymaker,' which is the gardening equivalent of Fablon.

It'sa good deal.

Wow! if I see that I just know I'll have to buy a copy.


I thought watercress needed running water to grow?


Realistically, I don't need any more seeds this year - as for Moneymaker - they are fine in my book, but the knack is to eat them still warm from the sun.


Re the Marketmore cuces, I've always had more luck growing them outside on a small wigwam with twine wrapped around horizontally, in a pot (approx. 1m high) than in a greenhouse - they are short stubby and spikey, tend to need peeling, but have a good taste.

I bought that magazine and posted about the seeds on another thread last week. But I think the deal seems to just be in Sainsburys as I have seen the magazine with just a couple of seeds free. The one I bought in Sainsburys was in a sealed plastic bag.
