Walnut thanks for that, I was thinking of getting a sulpher candle and fumigating the greenhouse with that. vheers

Hi Pete,Thanks for your answer. Not the answer I wanted but what I was afraid of. I'll check into what is allowed to be brought into the country.Problem is, my friends don't know the name of the variety.mrs flowers

I would, I tend to get most of the common ones, suttons, t&m. they can all be requested online. and you don't have to order from them, my local garden centre stocks 2 of the main ones seeds so a walk saves on postage

Thanks, Paladin, that's what I wanted to know!

Thanks for the info - I have been watching frost forecast and am leaving it for now - by weekend it will be more orange than green and I will prob bring it in - most leaves have died off now anyway
