All were in the sale apart from pumpkin.
I can't just 'like' that, it's priceless. My mum used to like 2 of everything but 3 is pushing the boundaries. Who's got a seed sale? I'm might need to stock up on cucurbits

Not a fan of DT Brown's new website. Pictures are bigger which means a lot of scrolling, and the pop ups when you move over the shortcuts at the top are annoying.

I don't think Mr F's and DT Brown's websites needed such a drastic makeover, just a bit of freshening up and modernisation.(05-07-2024, 12:49 PM)toomanytommytoes Wrote: Not a fan of DT Brown's new website.

Premier Seeds Direct looks like it was bought out last year too, or at least it's lost two of its original directors, with two new investors and only (presumably) the daughter remaining. They've recently updated their website too, but it looks a lot like the old one, just cleaner and easier to navigate.

I've just been led astray by Vital Seeds Second Spring seed collection https://vitalseeds.co.uk/product/winter-growing-second-spring-seed-collection/
At first I was only going to buy 2 of the seeds in that collection (the Mizuna Ben Houshi) and the (Kizuna Mix) because I have some of the other seeds already. However, they're a bit old so I decided to buy fresh replacements.
I also added 2 unusual items - a Broccoli that grows like "Kalettes"https://vitalseeds.co.uk/product/fiolaro-di-creazzo-organic/ and you know how much I like those.
and a very frilly kale https://vitalseeds.co.uk/product/kale-bear-necessities-organic-new-for-2023/That's £24.79 on the debit side of my balance sheet!

That bear necessities kale is very pretty and very tempting.
I can’t wait to have my first veg bed ready. I’ve got so many kale varieties to try. Mostly thanks to you

Just had a good look round their website. Wish I hadn’t. I want all the loose leaf lettuce varieties and quite a lot of the pumpkins & squash.
.It’s not happening I have lots of seeds already and no actual beds to plant them in

That's an interesting site, I've earmarked a few for a future spending spree, I like the thought of a sweet, crunchy cuc Shintokiwa, that frondy kale is interesting and a couple of tomatoes which may not make the list as I'm in the process of convincing myself that there's no need for so many toms.
