Garden centre - Seed packets rant!
I've just been round a few garden centres looking for veg seeds that can be
sown at this time of the year. Frankly I'm surprised some seed merchants are still in business or are carried by garden centres. In the first garden centre I looked, there were literally hundreds of packets of seeds with no visible information on the front regarding sowing dates and harvesting dates - this was buried in text on the back of the packets. While this may not matter if you know before hand exactly what you want to buy, it is a real pain in the rear when you are browsing for seeds to plant in a given month. I gave up pulling packets off the shelves to read so went to another garden centre. In another garden centre the display was wonderful - their seed supplier had a clear grid on the front of every seed packet so you could tell at a glance what can be planted in what month and what months it can be harvested. Brilliant. Came away with several packets. Will shop there again. Rant over! David. |
