I spent an hour this morning putting in a list for a friend who doesn't
have email etc. (i registered an email address then registered them on
the RHS site etc etc.
Went through fine

Just been on to select MY seeds put them all in (and it's a tedious
process as they haven't written the HTML code right so you have to
scroll down the page everytime you choose the seeds.

Anyway at the last "next" button I get the blinking "runtime error"
page. Tried three times and now not sure what to do!!

Anyone else having trouble and why does it work for some people and not
others?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is RHS, and how do you get the free seeds?

Royal Horticultural Society. Haven't done it for years, but around this
time of year I went to their main office and picked up a catalogue/list
of spare seeds you could request for free. Reading Janet's post, looks
like you can get the list and apply on their website - presumably for
members only.

time.

Yes, you go through their website and login as a member then order
seeds, (you can download list though i don't think it's as good as the
HPS list)

Didn't know about them (Google gives the Hardy Plant Society - I assume
that's the one?) so will look through the site later - thanks. I seem
limited to veg (and not much of that) these days, so have only been
using the HDRA heritage seed subscription.

Some gardens give away free seeds to visitors. I was at Ventnor gardens some
years ago and there was a trayful of seeds in envelopes, marked free-help
yourself.

Ventnor Botanical Gardens are in trouble and it looks as if it may close.
Not been running as a commercial business for years. Ideal spot for
building retirement bungalows and houses for the retired. South facing sun
trap.

Surprisingly too the Alpine garden Society has a good range of free
seeds and not by any means concentrating on alpine stuff. I have been
given a friends list to fill in as she doesn't want her allocation.

It would be a shame if it closed. We thought it was excellent. That was 10
or more years ago mind.
