I dropped into my local Pound shop over the weekend and found that they have got the new season's stock of seeds and bulbs in.
I came out of there with several bags full of stuff, and not much lighter in the pocket either!
I picked up a couple of packs of onion sets - Sturon and another I can't remember (Sturrock??).
I also got a few multi-packs of seeds - one had 30 runner beans and 10 french beans, a few more had six packs of seed - including coriander, two sorts of chilli, pak choi, salad leaves and tomatoes.
For a bit of colour I got a pack of Sunflowers - including a mini propogator, compost and 15 seeds for a quid
I don't have the packs in front of me right now, but I do remember thinking that some of the packs had fewer seeds than in a standard pack, but at the end of the day a smaller quantity of more varieties suits me much better as even I can't sow and eat 1,000 carrots in a single year!
There were also loads of flower seeds, bulbs and also some seed potatoes available - I would recommend a visit to your local shop.
After all, for only a pound it is worth a try. - let us know what you buy to encourage those of us who are currently reluctant to enter a pound shop

- and I haven't been there since last summer. Its a big scarey place where they tempt you to spend money.
