And I looked up our free carrot seeds. A favourite variety of the Australians, where DTBrown also have outlets. I didn’t know that.

My seeds from Mr F were posted through the letterbox. Our postman is seemingly very shy and always avoids contact with anyone if he can, so never knocks if he can make the delivery fit through the box. Never looks up, never makes eye contact
I found I'd been given a bonus packet of spring onion seeds in with my order. Guess they have a lot to get rid of. Shame I don't much like them.

My 1st order from MrF has arrived. I'm guessing that the postie tried to fit it through the letterbox but couldn't so put it in the porch on the seat (my safe place!). He'd also posted some letters through the letterbox which is why I think he failed with the seeds!.
My Free packet is Calendula Bull's Eye which I've ordered in one of my other orders. Ah well, you can never have too many calendula.

I didn't see who delivered it but it has 'whisti' on the label so I presume they are a delivery service?

Box is exactly the sam as DT Browns box and there are so may similarities I wonder whether they are the same firm?
Some of the seedpackets have pictures of plant on them, unlike seeds from DT Brown.

I've got two packages of seeds awaiting my return home, something to look forward to.

Two more Mr F orders have arrived - both delivered by Whistl through the letterbox!
Free seeds were Aubergine Green Knight and White Lisbon spring onions which seem to be a popular free item.
RE: Special Offers - toomanytommytoes - 27-10-2023
Whistl post is delivered by Royal Mail, at least round here. They're a different company but they hand over the mail to Royal Mail for the last leg, or something like that. They used to be called TNT.

My Mr F & DT Brown seeds have just cost me another squid from the charity shop as I had to buy two plastic 'tupperware' type containers to put them in for half a squid a knock!
One for flowers and one for veg seeds. Have you seen how much seed packet containers are on the interweb? No way, hosay, 
containers from Farplace will do me just fine! 
RE: Special Offers - Veggie - 27-10-2023
Most of my storage containers are old video boxes or free ones from Morries salad counter. The salad stuff comes in larger plastic boxes and is decanted into the self service containers. I asked what happened to the boxes and was told they were binned - so I've saved a few bags of them from the dump. There are 2 sizes, both are worth having!
