    Hi all,

    Just went in the shed to get my two carry bags of seed to find them destroyed by a leak and a mouse. So now I need to replace my supply. Does any one know where I can replace my veg and flower seeds at a cheap price? Really kicking myself for this mistake.

    Is lidl selling seeds yet?

    Have a look in wilkos they do flower and veg seeds for as little as 60p!!! And their 3 for 2. Don't think you'll find them cheaper than that

    Put a list on here of what you want. Sure that people will have some spare. I will have a look later at what I've got spare.

      Wyevale (part of the Garden Centre Group - if you have one near you?) have 50% off seeds at present. They only had T&M on show, so that won't exactly be cheap, but if you have some specific varieties you might be after then perhaps worth a look for those, and hunt around / scavenge for things where "any variety" will do :)

      Would you not be better splitting the roots of what you have ?
