Last chance to grab a Second Spring 2022 Seed Collection :) ...and some other bits and bobs
We hope you are having a great bank holiday weekend :)
We just wanted to give you a heads-up that this weekend is the last chance to pick up your Second Spring 2022 Seed Collection, as after August it's getting a bit late to sow some of the varieties.
They have been flying off the shelves! It's so nice to think of all the tasty veg that will come from them, keeping all those folks healthy and nourished over the months to come.
You can pick one up by clicking the button below.
