Seed buying thread 2025

[mothhawk]

After chucking all my old seeds into a tray for microgreens (surprisingly, quite a lot have germinated), I have lots of space in my seed tin.
But I've been very restrained. I've ordered a packet of spinach seeds.

OH brought back some pepper seeds. Bit late I know, but no harm in trying , especially if we have a brill summer.

Not seeds but bargains.

I hit MoreVeg today.....

New to me - Beetroot Boltardy, Chilli Chinese Wraith, Pea Alderman

Tried and tested - Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia, Parsnip White Gem, Mangetout Carouby Dr Mausanne

Also new to me Cucumber Mini Munch, but they were out of stock so bought off fleabay

Not a bad haul for around £10 Inc p&p

I've convinced myself that my chilli seeds are no good and won't be germinating. So panic-ordered a few new varieties - Machu Picchu, Aji Delight, Biquinho yellow and Biquinho red.

T&M offering seeds from 49p upwards should you need more

Thanks for posting that link Containergardener - a proper bargain.

Unfortunately I missed the window but it's probably for the best - I need little persuasion to buy seeds in general, especially when there's a good deal on but I'm trying very hard to scale back on how many different veggies/varieties we're growing this year. Despite offloading seeds I had double packets of/won't realistically ever grow & ruthlessly disposing of opened packets I've still got a tin full

Special offer week at Baumaux, Nicos. I couldn't resist.

Charlotte seed potatoes (my favourites and an irresistible bargain even though I'd decided not to grow any potatoes this year)
Jerusalem artichoke tubers (always wanted to try these)
Muscade carrots
Leek seeds
Christmas lima beans (climbing, so I'm going to have to molly coddle them as I never have much luck with climbers)
4-season lamb's lettuce (got my hopes up for these, I love the stuff)
Spinach (supposedly suitable for hot weather, doubtful but maybe a bit of a longer season)
Ruffian squash
Rosa de Barbastro seeds for next year
And two winter lettuces.

^^^^ Oooooo…

Have you seen all those unusual aubergines?

[Snoop Puss]

^^ Yes, but I cheat and buy aubergine plug plants. You tempted?

[Nicos]

I would have been but OH has already germinated more plants than we can shake a stick at

Not being one to miss a free delivery day, I have purchased, sweet aperitif toms, thunbergia superstar orange and golden eyes, parsnip white gem, courgette all green bush, sweetcorn snobaby, aubergines black beauty, pinstripe and three knights collection, kale cottager's, dwarf beans adoration and celine, plus a golden turnip. I don't like turnip...

Someone else might! Very impressed.

That is a very good point smallblueplanet

Also, you might like a 'golden' one.
