lost all my seeds :(
« on: February 12, 2015, 03:02:53 pm »
Went into my greenhouse today to potter around and found all my seeds eaten by mice, every single packet. It's my own stupid fault for leaving them in the jiffy bag that they arrived in but I'm still gutted. I had carefully picked every variety, most of them being heritage. Really sad :(

Oh no. What did you lose? I have spares of some things and would send you some.
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Oh no! I really feel for you as I too spend ages mulling over what I want. I have lots of seeds to spare, particularly Franchi Seeds of Italy ones if any of those would be of interest. Would be more than willing to mail you some as I always have too many. Not Scottish heritage varieties, but some nice ones if I can be of help?

I've probably got some as well and mine are heritage.

I'll send some to you!  Happened to me before - little blighters ate all my bean seeds, so I share your pain!  I bought an old army surplus ammunition tin which is fantastic for keeping seeds in (and watertight) - highly recommend this and they are really cheap!  I painted mine in Hammerite (because I love Hammerite) and it looks fab too!  (It's the little things in life that cheer me up  :excited: )

Clarebelle - I put a little package in the post today for you with from SE Wales. Hopefully it contains some things of interest - there's a mix of all sorts of things in there.
