    (All seed addicts add the date to your Diaries)
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/digin/


    Seeds can be ordered online via the web site (after 1st March) or via their events throughout the year


    This years selection are

    Blue Lake French bean
    A super-productive climbing bean that will give a heavy crop of long tender green pods with just a bit of care.

    Black Beauty courgette
    Heavy cropping and quick to grow, just a couple of plants will keep you in courgettes all summer long.

    Royal Chantenay Red carrot
    Short and sweet, these conical carrots are ready in just a few months and are perfect for growing in containers.

    Mixed Leaf salad
    A tangy, tasty mix of salad leaves made up of crunchy lettuce, delicate chard, tender spinach and spicy mizuna.

    Sweet Genovese basil
    A versatile herb with a lovely fragrance, this plant is perfect for growing on a warm windowsill - and for making pesto.

    If a plum tomato breaks the law when it’s young
    Would it’s criminal past ketchup with it later?

                        from what i saw on the silly box last year, you just needed to find the Big Dig van and they'd give you the seeds.
                        for those that got the email.....does it tell you have to find the van?

                          I've only just signed up for their newsletter so hopefully that will give a hint when the time comes.

                              Ah, i got some of these last year when they were in Hull. Didn't realise that was the only way.
                              Some, frankly quite tastey, girl thrust a handful of packets in my face. Can't complain on either count.
