Forgive me Veggie for I have sinned. T&M have discounted a lot of interesting seeds to 89p, and there are a some new blight resistant tomatoes and some things hard to get elsewhere for a good price. Better range of choice than their usual discounted seed offers which seem to be the same every time.

Penstemon Huskers Red
Agastache Apricot Sprite
Calendula Fiesta Gitana Mixed
Antirrhinum Bronze Dragon
Zinnia Zahara Starlight Rose
Tomato Shimmer
Tomato Goldkrone
Tomato Oh Happy Day F1
Tomato Romello F1
Cabbage Spring Hero F1
Cabbage Winter Jewel
Kohl Rabi Kolibri F1
Shallot Figaro
Beetroot Alto F1

Well they arrived much quicker than usual, within 2 days of ordering. Just when I thought T&M must be getting their act together, I see they've replaced the Penstemon Huskers Red with a packet of courgette seed, even though the penstemon isn't out of stock on their website.  Blush

Contact them and complain. If you do it on FB too, you may be lucky and have 2 lots of missing seeds sent to you. (Remember the ?beans that I ended up with?)

I’m still waiting for my T&M 100 bulbs and 10 packets of seed for a tenner.
Will post a photo to show you what I get when they get here.

Replacement seed packet is already on the way. It's funny because I can see that the penstemon packet is the only one on the order which wasn't ticked off with a pencil, so presumably whoever was packing the order gave up trying to find the penstemon packet and chucked something random in. Big Grin

What also confused me was the size of the box they delivered the seeds in, it was massive and barely fit through the letter box, way too big for 15 packets of seeds.

Did you get excited when you saw the big box ................then bitterly disappointed to find it was only a few packets of seeds?

My parents gave me some gift vouchers for seeds for Christmas/my birthday. I need to finish re-cataloguing my existing seeds before I order from the other two companies, but I have already ordered from Jekka's Seeds as they had some unusual things that I know I don't already have. Got home to a little package last night:

Woad
Red Valerian
Goats Rue
Lemon Bergamot (lemon beebalm)
Buckler Leaf Sorrel (I have some very sorrel-looking weeds in my garden so I'm hoping having sorrel with very distinctive leaves will make it easier to not poison myself!)
Clary Sage
Wild Garlic
Calendulas (a nice double flowering one - can never have too many calendulas)
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

Fairly high chance the sorrel looking weed is wild sorrel and edible. Do your homework first obviously before trying it.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
