  • How many packets of seeds have you got?

    This is a slightly scary topic, but I recently organised my seeds.



    And I counted the packs... 141.

    It has reached epidemic proportions! Mr Noosner must never find out...

    If anyone can face counting theirs I'd love to know how many packs of seeds you lot have got.

          Am on my 3rd tin for seeds and have also saved loads which are drying out in kilners of rice. I won't be counting them - but I do know I have 26ish different varieties of squash, and that that is a GOOD thing!

                my seeds often end up on the bottom of my seed tins where they sneak out of their packets. When there are too many of them I mix them up with any (dramatically) out of date packs, varieties I didn't like etc and broadcast them in the area of the garden the chooks run will be in the autumn (I move it three times a year).

                Most don't grow but those that do are much appreciated

                67 packets remain

                  141 - I thought that was very honest, I could do the same.....

                    I have no idea how many packets I have, a lot come free with magazines so surely they don't count! I gave away 21 packets of flower seeds last week mostly from Amateur Gardening magazine

                          What a great way to organise them! Might stop me keep buying seeds when I can't find where the other ones are lurking.

                          Oh, I think you should be proud and approach record breakers for largest personal veg seed collection

                            I have two biscuit tins full of packets, but the lids wobble about an inch above the rims. I'm not taking them out to count, I'll never get them all back in again...

                              I'm still refining the filing - lots more seeds to do yet Its working well though. Great being able to pull a box of the shelf and see what I have without rummaging through lots of boxes and bags.
