free veg seeds

I will pass on them, is the salad lettuce leaves, i grow lettuce leaves in a pot as they keep coming back, did a pot about 3wks ago and i'm going to do another this weekend and the 2pots will last me all summer. You could be a veg grower, think BBC are trying to encourage everyone to grow their own food.

My suggestion is, grow the basil on your kitchen window sill, it's nice to chomp. One or two tiny pots.

Never thought of that GB :o))

think your right carol, i thought they are free so get them lol, the lettuce is cut and grow again :o))
thanx Gb i will do that, handy for when cooking to :o))

get them all planted San and see what happens, you have a good variety there.

cheers yorshire, not sure where to put them though, will have a think over easter lol

Nice lot of seeds Sandra. I grow my french beans in a trough. You could get a few growbags and grow your things in there-that's what I do as I have not much garden! My basil is in a window box. You could grow your courgettes in your little greenhouse! :-)

thanx richard once this awfull weather changes i will get into it more, its awfull today, hope my new plants dont suffer with gales and heavy rainfall :o(

The basil can be sown now (ours is "through"). We used three 3" pots and sowed a few seeds in each, placed on a bright windowsill, and placed a cut lemonade bottle over them., watered only the once. Later, divide the clumps of seedlings into half again and pot on in larger pots (they look and grow better in small groups rather than singly.

The salad stuff can be sown now, too. Use a small window box or trough, and keep in a bright place indoors.

The carrots can also be sown in window boxes/troughs in April. You could harvest them small as "babies".

Also, leave the courgettes and beans until late April, and start indoors/iin youyr greenhouse in trays or small pots. Transplant outdoors beginning of June. Courgettes make great container plants (I really like the leaves and flowers) and the beans could be grown in growbags with supports or in pots, too. :-))

thanx for all the info david, i will make sure i do them now, not to bad if i can grow some on window sill, and some in troughs, i love cougettes :o))

I am sooooo jelous!!! I sent of for my free seeds ages ago and havent recieved any, I must be one of the unlucky ones. Put them in the soil sandra and see what happens. We'll turn you into a veggie person yet lol

lol pauline im gearing myself up for it hahaah,

I had my seeds today thro the post Sandra, same as yours, and planted the carrots in a round garden container about two foot high. I planted the salad in a trough outside. Hope you and Baz have recovered from your recent gardening exploits :-)

your on the ball richard, planted already and ive had mine all week and nothing yet lol, but i will :o)

Have you had a look in the french bean packet Sandra. I looked in mine and french bean is the correct label as there was only one bean seed in there lol. I have planted it in a single pot ! Lucky I had another packet of them that I bought previously to plant up :-)

lol richard i gave my son-in-law mine as step daughter and him are starting to grow veg and dont have alot of money , so i felt sorry for them, gave them a few tomatoe seeds to and broad beans, oh and sunflowers for our granson to grow, im going to grow them some plants to ;o)) how strange one seed hahahh

When it grows Sandra I will save the seeds from it so next year I will have plenty more hopefully (if it grows!) :-)

yes good idea and you may get quite alot of beans on one plant :o)

Hope so Sandra that would be good :-)

Sandra I got my digin seeds on saturday. Horay!!!! Now where do I grow them Im running out of space!!!! help ned a bigger garden. Can I pinch next doors they have 4 kids and in the 18 years I have lived here they never use it. what a crime!!!!!

Richard and Sandra I thought the dig in campaign was for small spaces and small gardens!!!???!!! So why oh why are the courgettes to be planted 3 feet apart!!!!! Seems crazy to me whos got all that space?

David has a good suggestion above Great. To plant the courgettes in pots-that is what I will be doing as I have not much space either :-)

glad you got your seeds pauline, i havent done any yet apart from tomatoes which have come on well and need potting on now, good luck with yours :o))

Thanks RJ and Sandra I will let you know how i get on!!!
