This month, I have already started buying seeds for next year. Lidl was selling their seeds at 29p each for small packets and 49p each for large packets. I don't know the ethicness of these seeds - the ones sold by the Organic Gardening Catalogue are stated as ethically sourced. I bought: Lobelia Magic Mix F1 (though have only just noticed that it is "pillen saat" - I wonder if this means it is pelleted seed); Busy Lizzie Mix; Calabrese Corvet F1 (which says sow April-July); Dwarf French Bean Kinghorn Wax; French Marigold Kobold Mix F1; California Poppy Mission Bells.
Today I went to Wilkos where seed was half price. I bought Wilkos own brand: Petunia Bedding Mixed; Coleus Rainbow Mixed. From Johnsons Seeds, I got: Pak Choi Choko F1; Gerbera Californian Giants Mixed; Verbena Sparkles Mixed.
Also today, at Woolies, their own brand seeds were 30p and Johnsons were 60p. I got Woolies Gazania Sunshine Mixed, Godetia Dwarf Mixed and Caifornia Poppy Milk and Honey. From Johnsons Seeds, I bought only a packet of Geraniums - Special Multiflora Mixzed F1.
Some of the seeds acquired this month can be sown this year, either now-ish or in autumn.
