Is this worthwhile / value for money?

I came across this:

http://www.suttons.co.uk/Shop/Special+Offers/Essential+Vegetable+Starter+Pack+211671.htm

One of my mates and I thought about going halfs on a kit, but now I've given it more thought I suspect it isn't that good value. Or maybe it is, but not for people who want to get a quick start on veg growing.

What do we reckon?

 

The link didn't work for me

 

Didn't work for me at first either, but is now working. Think the problem was at Suttons' end.

 

The deal sounds good enough as long as they are delivered promptly and the young plants survive the delivery service and the plants are the ones you would buy anyway.

 

not my cup of tea i like the going out to find what i will grow this year....seeds is too time consuming for me as i busy but it's just part of the whole thing of getting ready and sourcing the goody's that i will grow this year and i don't see the expense as i collect all my 50p pieces all year and thats for my plants

 

The link is working for me now - must have been Suttons I think.
I prefer to choose what I will grow and wouldn't like a parcel someone else had chosen - so not for me.

 

Thanks all.

I'm inclined to agree. It seemed like a good deal at first, and probably is for someone who can't decide what to grow. But I think I'll carry on as I'd planned before seeing the ad.

My mate who I was going to go halves with is also less receptive to the idea now he's had time to think about it, so its back to plan A I think. Plan A by the way is for my mate and I to share our seeds because in a typical packet, there is often too many of one thing for each of our gardens individually, so by sharing it means we won't both end up with half used seeds sat in the drawer for a year, steadily losing their viability.

 

I thought it seemed like quite a good deal at first.
But half the fun is in choosing what to get isn't it? So maybe not as good as I first thought.
