    Thats a strange one tweets with the seeds...so who's going to send a SAE and see if the seeds arrive and a little extra from the bees....

    I'm now intrigued and might just to see if anything comes back!

    I never looked at it proper because I don't want the seeds but thought it may interest the Elite.

    I entered my details and then it sends you an email.

    In some ways I feel really sorry for small companies who "offer" something which is then picked up en masse. The email explains that they are 2 guys who started promoting their drinks company a few years back and so far have sent out thousands of packs of seeds and paid quite a bit in postage....

    It goes on to give an address saying if you would still like the seeds please send a SAE to a given address and a pack will be sent.

    so I guess the fact that they ask you to send a SAE potentially makes the postage costs similar to the cost of a packet of wild flower seeds...

    It is a nice idea though and I'm still wondering whether to send for them as we do have quite a wild bit at the bottom of the garden

    The wine worked on bm I ordered
    Cono Sur sauvignon blanc, v I o g n I e r ( sorry stupid auto correct wants to change it to filthier!) Pinotnoir and merlot.
    Hardy's Shiraz Cabernet, Cabernet merlot, semillon sauvignon
    A mixture of 18 of the above e and I got a full bm of £20.

    Just worked for me too, I got Cono Sur Voigner & Pinot Noir, and Barefoot Zinfandel.
    Got 24 bottles for £2.79 each. (Some priced at £6 each which would have been better at £2.66 but receipt shows all at £5.50 each). Did two transactions as BM was about £16 on each 12.
    Going back later but don't want to raise profile in my small T's and also hope that they have restocked a bit;)

    No harm sending for them if you would use them.

    I don't have any flowers apart from a lonesome daffodil and some bluebells that grow in a little square near backdoor. Rest is just grass.

    Took this while I was out and about this morning. It just looked so summery and English somehow.
