Van Meuwen £100 for a tenner !!!

Hi all

Coudnt find the original thread

Anyway VW had a offer on £100 for a £10.00 plus I had a £5.00 voutcher to use so with P&P COST ME £8.50

As promised this is what I have recieved: Let me know what you think bargain or not as you will see they went a bit crazy on the seeds.

1 Tree peony
6 fushia
6 surfina petunia
5 seed potatoes ( strange thing says on the packiging Thomson & Morgan ??)
3 packets of money maker tomotoes seeds
3 packets of gardeners delight tomotoes seeds
3 packets of true greek oregano seeds
3 packets of walking stick cabbage seeds
3 packets of parsnip seeds
4 packets of brussel sprout seeds
1 green potato sack
12 grren plastic wall hangers pouches
1 pair of gardening gloves

So all that lot for £13.50? It's quite a haul.

I think you could resell some of those surplus seeds on ebay.

Take cuttings off the surfinias and fuschias, plant up the wall pouches and flog them at a car boot. Easily a tenner a throw.

Grow the greek oregano, sell them on ebay or at a foodie farmer's market, even better. (I've been looking for that stuff for ages) A fiver for a decent sized plant.

Then set up a walking stick business.

I think you done good!

 

I've never got their "Special Offer" tree peonies to grow. But good luck!

Same company I think. Probably T&M bought a share/own V.M - or vice versa. Their marketing material looks like it comes from the same Design and Printing companies :thumb:

I pay 50p/packet for seeds in the end-of-season sale.

I don't grow Moneymaker tomatoes any more as I don't think they much flavour - but I thought they were OK until I tried to grow something better!

Hopefully those seeds packets are fresh this season - in which case the unopened ones will keep for a year at least, probably two or three, so will do you for a while to come

It will be £100's worth of plants once the seeds have grown, but calling it a £100 order is a bit of a stretch in my opinion.

Probably fair enough for a tenner though

 

That is a lot of seeds, but it sounds like a good haul to me! I paid about 80p-£1 each for some small fuschia plants and surfina petunias, so even with just those you have a good deal.

 

I think its a high five yyyeeee that I can see clearly

good deal trust me to get a tree peony looks nice with my other 10 !!! it came to the right home to be looked after , realy good root system and has already produced its own roots from the graft from the root stock so that should establish quickly I have nick named it after you as you gave such a good high 5

I needed fushias for my baskets as well Wedding day is the variety
