Has anyone bought seed that doesnt match what it should be?I have savoy cabbage that looks suspiciously like sprouts.From the same seed packet,some are definately savoy but i planted some in concrete troughs and they are growing like sprouts no purply colour like the others.I'm not complaining as i dont think i planted enough sprouts in the first place.Aah,she muddled the seed herself?Nope, i cheated and bought the sprouts as plants ,dont have sprout seed at all.Anyone else had this?

Which company was the Savoy seed from?

just been to look and cant see any ,although i'm sure i have some left.\my other seed is mr fothergill and suttons although i did get some packs from b .and q.Not too sure where the savoy came from at the moment.

no, but when i planted my first lot of seeds, i never thought to label them thinking i'd remember what they were .. (why i thought that, i have no idea, most of the time i don't even know what day it is).... so now i have lots of sprouting things, that are going to be surprise veggies ..... it would be useful to know what they are though, cos then i could identify which ones are weeds lol

I'm waiting to see the colour of some petunia plants I bought from T&M, (not veg I know, but in the same vein). I love the purple ones, which is what I ordered, but the first plant to flower is white. I'm just waiting for some more, before I send pics to T&M to complain. Not the first time I've had issues with plants from them, but as I'd never had probs with seeds, I thought I'd give them a second chance

One of my Gardeners Delight tomatoes clearly isn't a tomato, have no idea what it is but there's no way it's a tom - looked a bit like one of the tomatillos but it isn't one of them either and I only sowed tomatoes and tomatillos that day. Whatever it is, it must have a seed that looks like a tomato or chilli as otherwise I'd have noticed. Fortunatly I got 100% germination so it wasn't a problem and I've not bothered complaining.

Actually, I did keep meaning to take a photo to see if anybody knew but never got around to it.

My tuscan kale seedlings look suspiciously.......not like tuscan kale!
