I went to Hilliers and bought quite a few seed
packets with the 20% reduction, and the
shop price was the same as the online price so I bought what was available from
the shop. There are some varieties that I can only get online so there is still
more to acquire. I also bought a packet of sweet pea seeds for garden colour
and if there are enough, or maybe I will buy more, they are good for the allotment
as they attract bees that will pollinate the vegetables as well. I also bought
some general purpose compost for tomorrows’ job (container bulb planting). The
price for the lot was £20, my first expenditure of the year for the garden. As
far as vegetable seed goes, when you take your first and maybe second pickings
of vegetables, you have got your money back already, especially as food prices
have gone up quite noticeably lately and are predicted to go up even more.
