Seed sowing time is here again!
At least it is for me! On Sunday 11th December I ordered some seeds, they arrived on Thursday 15th December. :-)). In a day or two, or whenever the weather lets me go back down to the allotment again, I want to sow a few of the seeds
You can see here all 5 packets of seeds:
This is my first experience of ordering seeds on line. A lot quicker & simpler than by post which is how I’ve ordered seeds in the past. Not that I’ve done that in many years as I normally buy my seed locally, in the shops in town. All the packets being ordered at the same time meant I didn’t have to pay extra postage & they were sent out the very next day. I ordered them on Sunday evening & on Monday I got an email to tell me they had been dispatched! The website said they could take between 5 & 7 days. Being the busiest season of the year for the Post Office I fully expected them to take at least the 7 days. So I was delighted to get them Thursday morning! :-))
I was also very surprised to get them in tiny plastic bags when I was expecting them to arrive in the traditional paper packets with nice bright colours, just like you see in the shops!

For once I can thank the seed company on eBay & thank the Post Office for getting them to me in such a short time at the busiest season of the year! :-))
