I've a quarter of an acre veg garden. These are the kind of quantities we used to see from premier seeds direct in the UK before Brexit.

Knowing me I'll probably not plant everything but they will keep till next year.

We are self sufficient on most of our veg. Tomatoes would be the exception but we got a tunnel last year.

I'm one of those who you see in the supermarket with no veg in the trolley.

That list cost me €130. Would have been a lot more buying here

Not normally but they have a nice catalogue. 🤣.

A lot of what I bought was early, mid season and late so I'll give it a go.

We also preserve a lot of veg so it won't go to waste.

My seeds arrived 😁

Ordered last Saturday. Despatched Sunday by DPD. Delivered Friday. All the journey could be tracked.

Ordered a few module trays as well.

Most of the instructions are in Polish but they have a clear chart for sowing, planting and harvesting.

There is a Foil packet inside some of the packets . Can't fault the packaging
