You would go through a nice sunny summer tending your garden then in
Autumn you would tidy it up, rake up the leaves and look back over the
gardening year then after Xmas you would get the seed catalogues and would
start to plan for the new season.
Now the blasted things seem to come with almost every post, and if the
postman doesn't bring any there are more arriving on line every week.
Do you resist the urge to buy, or do you end up with more seeds than you
can ever get round to sowing?


Stopped buying from the catalogues these days, get free seeds with The
Kitchen Garden and at 50p a packet at Wyvales at the end of the season.
Anything specific, like chillies, we do purchase online but then it's
usually the lesser known seed merchants

I do the same as you Bob, get free seeds with the magazines if the value of
the seeds outweigh the cost of the magazine (usually by far).
Any free seeds I cannot grow without a greenhouse, e.g. aubergines and some
tomatoes, I send to my friend in Germany where they have reliably hot
summers and in return she sends me her various heritage bean seeds and other
strange stuff, like seeds for pumpkins that grow so big that it take two
people to lift them. Haven't grown those yet ;-)
