Cheaper Tomato Seeds
I went to Homebase, and saw some "Jamie Oliver" compost, and thought yet
another stupid marketing ploy. When I went to look at the seeds (I was after some Sungold as 5 of mine had failed to germinate) I saw the Jamie Oliver seeds. 10 Sungold for £1.99 - rather than £2.99 that I usually pay for ten. I thought "Excellent". I have just sown the 5 I needed - and found that I actually got 13 !! (PS I bought my original seeds from Garden4less who do not charge postage on light seeds - and they are twenty or thirty pence off marked prices) Anne |

Abuse report sent. Did you feel the OP was touting the discount dealer (even though some of their seeds apparently didn't germinate)? The price sounds awfully high for just 10 seeds, but some of the hybrids are dear. I paid US$18 (EUR12.50)for 50 seeds of a rootstock tomato for grafting... Surely makes my home-saved seeds look like a huge bargain! I just noticed that there are a bunch of some kind of brassica sprouting in the driveway (carpark?) where I winnowed some kale and relatives a month or two ago.

It is a pathetic tactic to get us to buy from the message. ie. spam from garden4less in this case. Read the whole message from the OP to make up your own mind. |

I WILL get a life, I promise seeing as you are so concerned. Irrigation components are of no interest to me, I always **** the bed anyway. Goodbye and best regards, Baz |

I can assure you that my email adress is "chantilly-lace at virginmedia.com" and works for other people, and I am happy to respond to any emails I receive. (Did you remove the quote marks?) So you would recommned that no one in their right mind would shop at garden4less even though you don't know if it exists and I assume have never heard of it. Could you explain that please? Perhaps you can also share with me and others where you think a better place to buy seeds at a better price is? I hope that you don't treat all newcomewrs to the group like this. |

Seems a bit unlikely given the OP's post was about how they had a bunch of failed germinations. Didn't sound like a good advert to me. :-) |
