Popped into Wilko to try and buy some smoke alarms (unsuccessfully, they are sold out everywhere - presumably stuck on a container ship somewhere) and somehow found myself leaving with five packets of seeds instead 
Cauliflower - All the Year Round (though it's suddenly occurred to me that I have some Snowball cauliflowers from the seed swap last year - oops!)
Calendula - Daisy Mixed
Calendula - Indian Prince
Nasturtium - Tip Top Mixed
Sunflower - Giant Single (got to try harder for the tallest sunflower this year!)
Less than a fiver for the lot.
And my parents are bringing me my old seeds over tomorrow. Some may be too old to germinate now, but I think most will be okay.
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

Pros, ask your Fire Brigade if they will fit some free alarms for you - mine did.

The firemen pulled up outside in a full size fire engine when they came to fit mine. The neighbours were quite concerned!!

I bought a box of dried peas to use for pea shoots. I had some pea shoots last year in salad bags so thought I'd try growing my own. 50p for a box!

Ditto! Popped into Wilko for a notepad and came out with three dahlias.

I got some mixed seed kale seed and some cavolo Nero seed plus some Norfolk carrots and a big 10kg bag of wild bird seed.

Yes I'd like to know that too. I have a tonne of kale varieties I haven't sowed yet, but I've never heard of milk seed kale

I've picked up a few things this week. Some cress seed (I always forget to grow this and end up buying it), swan river daisy seed and a 500g bag of gigantes beans.
I found the gigantes in a grocery shop and thought I'd try them. My dried peas for shoots have sprouted so I'm hopeful the gigantes will also be viable and germinate for me.

What's milk seed kale please? Sorry guys that’s a typo, or rather a predictive auto correction text on my iPad. It should read ‘Mixed ‘ not milk
