Hi All - A little rant :?

Just spent a nice afternoon sowing some bits and bobs but
what a pain some seed packets are. Some you have to almost
tear in half as they top is glued down so much, some open where
the instruction and name is, some of the little foil packets have
a second inner plastic that won't tear just streaches, some open
at the bottom so when you stand them back up in the box they
spill out. Wish they could find a method that opens and seals easily
and all companies would standardise.

That's it - spleen vented! :D

Dear Westi, i do agree they are a right nuisance, so now i always keep a good pair of sharp scissors on the potting bench.

It saves all that frustration and spleen venting :) :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

The Real Seed company has dinky little reseal plastic packets, and jolly good information on a separate slip inside
