Free Seeds

The 'Kitchen Garden' free subscription from Tesco paid off this month when three free packets of seeds arrived in the post yesterday.

First, a packet of 'Lolla Rossa' lettuce seeds which will come in very handy for succession sowings as the lettuce we have is pretty mature now. We are trying to make it last longer by picking only leaves rather than whole lettuces but eventually it will bolt so we are looking forward to planting some more.

Second, some coriander, which we love to put in homemade salsa but the seeds we already planted appear to have been eaten so these new ones will come in very handy !

Finally, some sweetcorn, which it is almost too late to start but we are going to take a chance and start off in pots in the polytunnel !

Fingers crossed all the seeds grow. The free seeds have a recommended retail price of £4.45, so a nice little freebie on top of the magazine itself !
