Seed availability - Spec - 09-03-2021
Had to go out this evening to get some milk so went down to lidels when it was quite, going through the entrance doors they have set up a seed stand where you just can't miss it, so how could I possibly walk past it, I have had a search through the seed stand looking for pansy seeds at tesco and had my daughter search for them a morrisons, without success, so I thought I would get them in lidels, but none there either, so does anyone know if there is shortage of pansy seeds this year, if so is there a shortage of other seed varieties

Sorry, no idea - though Brexit has put a spanner in the works when it comes to a lot of plant-related commerce, so who knows? There were certainly plenty of pansy plants in the garden centre last weekend, so the commercial growers still have access to them!

There are no GCs open up here at present, though that may change today, but did you notice if there were any pansy seeds available
RE: Seed availability - Eyren - 09-03-2021
Sorry, I was deliberately avoiding looking at seed packets, as I have too many already!
If I spot any in my local Tesco I'll let you know.
Edit: I do know that Chiltern Seeds has some, as I was thinking of getting some Viola cornuta seeds - I love that they flower all through the winter!

Thanks Bren but there is no Aldi close at hand but I am quite sure that if Eyren applied a bit of willpower she should be able to look at seeds without feeling the need to buy
. I know I can look at things without the strong urge to spend money

There is one pansy (Swiss Giant) in the 8-in-1 hanging basket packet.
They also have vegetable seeds - https://www.aldi.co.uk/the-green-garden-vegetable-seeds/p/701089449507201

Got 2 packets of pansy seeds this morning at asda £1.49 a packet
Asda also have compost a 3, 60ltr. bags for £10 or £4.a bag but as I am only using what I have along with old compost, burn sand and mole hills, I will just have to put my money back under the mattress
