Double whammy

I was so excited when the post came today..

My American friend sent me 11 packets of seeds, and I got an envelope with £15 of vouchers, I applied at my local garden centre to have a loyalty card. I found out that they had logged my house number wrong, and a neighbour up the road got my vouchers, so as a good will gesture they made up my vouchers up the £15. So I cannot wait to spend that.

 

I love having vouchers to spend, I find that I treat myself to things I wouldn't normally buy!!!

What a wonderful day you had for mail! And it's not even your birthday!!!!

Enjoy spending those vouchers; what seeds did you get from your US friend?

 

I got:
Columbine Giants Mix
Batchelor Buttons Polka Dot
Larkspur Giant
Mallow Rose
Morning Glory Heavenly Blue
Thumbergia
Siberian Wallflower
White Yarow
Zinnia Lilliput Mix
Zinnia 5 Spot

I have got so many new types to sow next year, cannot wait.

 

That sounds like a delightful mix of seeds, liliana; can't wait to see pictures next year! Was it a seed swap? Or a very kind hearted friend across the pond?

 

It was a seed swap, I have done 2 swaps this year, with the website, and I have another site that I do regular swops.

 

Well, I think you did rather well out of your swap

 

Update:
I went to my local Wyevale G C, to 'spend' my vouchers.

For My £15 of vouchers, I got the following:

3 Bags Compost

1 large bag Pot Pourri

Seed Packets:-

Hispi - Cabbage
Celeriac - Monarch
Oregano
Penny Royal
Rhubarb Chard
Swiss Chard
Pumpkin - Windsor
Runner Beans - Enorma

Total should have been £36, used all my vouchers. Not a bad days, I think.
