Because of my carnivore diet I have ordered a whole host of flower seeds, as I am not eating the veg I am growing, and of course because they were cheap!
Next year my allotment will be a veritable sea of colour although I will still grow veggies for the inlaws!
Quick edit..........I already have two nice tupperware containers sorted out, one for flower seeds and one for veggie seeds!

Go for it SC, this opportunity may not come around again!
For the record, and as gentle encouragement, I've spent £33 on seeds originally sold for £227.
EDIT - My DTBrown seeds have been despatched.

I did find all the veg seeds first time round. So I’m done. And very happy with my meagre selection.
My seeds have also been dispatched

Thanks for the half price code, Veggie, still working today.
I feel such a lightweight, only ordered 14 packets, but a saving of £37! I'm sure I won't have room enough for all the flowers, but what the heck, who can resist such offers?

I am wondering, will these be 'short dated' seeds? Not that I take much notice of sow-by dates, within reason.

3 orders, (one of which was at full price of £1 each pkt because I'd missed some seeds I wanted from the first order) Total cost £15 Value of seeds £94.93 a saving of £79.93. That's what I call a bargain.
