RE: Special Offers - Veggie - 30-11-2020
Free P&P with Mr F and DTBrown until midnight, 1st December.
Unfortunately, seed packet prices have returned to normal!!

Not exactly a "special" offer but stamps are going to cost more from 1st January - so stock up now with 1st and 2nd class stamps and beat the increase.

As long as there isn't a value on them - like 25p you can use them as 1st class stamps for ever. They can be a good investment.

Don't know whether this is a special offer or not!! https://freeplants.co.uk/
Apparently, they give away free plants and you pay £4.95 P&P and you can buy plants at the same time if you wish.
Its mostly plants but there are some sundries like Dalefoot compost reduced.

Any 5 packets of "wildlife" flower bulbs for £5 + P&P (check this first as I'm not sure what it is).
There are various other wildlife houses etc in their sale too.

Can anyone tell me if dtbrown uses royalmail for delivery? My seeds have at last been dispatched and I am worried they will disappear into the ether the way my last two packages have. One from whshoddy and one from amaz0n who have always delivered perfectly well before. I had emails to say both were delivered, but never got them.
If the seeds come by RM they'll get here for sure, otherwise, someone is having a nice Christmas at my expense.

Have a feeling a lot of people are going to have similar problems with their deliveries this year, the couriers must've hired a load of new drivers to keep up with demand.

Pretty good quality for so late in the season. A few of the bulbs were a bit mouldy and the Nectarosodum/sphaerocephalon/crocuses/hyacinths were sprouting. The bulbs are mixed together in one bag and while most of them are easily distinguishable, some of the alliums look quite alike.
