Bargain Seeds

Wilkinsons' seeds are all half price now - most of them with a sow by date of 2008 or 2009 - and they were pretty good value before the reduction.

This includes both flowers and vegetables so start planning next year's veggie patch now! :D

    I've been watching my local co-op. They long since stopped selling seeds this year. No special offers at all. :(

    Our Local Woolworths have reduced theirs. Had a big pack of 5 different salad leaves reduced from 2.49 to 78p as well as lots of others. All the ones I bought were reduced by more than 50%

    :) That's real kind of you,thanks. I'll wait, though, to see what my local Asda are doing when I next get there. I've got my fingers crossed. And my neighbour often goes to B&Q when we go up to Asda so I might get a chance to look in there as well.

    Pol, that's a really good idea - can we set up seed exchange? if interested parties list the seeds that they don't want and offer them up for grabs. I have a number of un-opened packs of flower seeds that came with a Daily Mail offer, I'll never use them so I'd much rather that someone on here could have them so I'll go and get them to list on this thread...


    Right - I have them here, if anyone wants them just PM me with your address.

    I was in a B&Q last thursday and there seeds where still full price. I also went to a garden centre and the had only one brand with 50% off and all the rest where full price.

    One of my wilkinsons have pulled them all the seeds off the shelves and stuffed in a wire basket. So they might go down again.

    Yours

    Aster 'pastel mix'
    Agastache 'fragrant mixed'
    Aquilegia ' mixed fairy bonnets'
    Calendula ' kablouna mixed'
    Candytuft
    Cornflower 'tall double mixed'
    Kniphofia 'rooperi'
    Lychnis Flos-Cuculi
    Dwarf Morning Glory
    Mignonette 'sweet scented'
    Nicotiana ' old fashioned mix'

    Penstemon 'tall bicolour sensation'
    Salvia 'victoria'
