          Indeed, all are tiny or roots or plugs so will go into pots in the cold greenhouse until spring or later. I prefer buying my plants small and cheap and grow them on, or grow from seeds.

          Seen that I had a bit of a windfall and won the Lottery on Saturday I don't need to skimp :whistle: (ok, the £4.90 didn't quite cover my wild shopping spree :biggrin: ) but I like cheap things and the thrill of growing on from scratch :)

          Which reminds me... Chiltern's seed catalogue is expected any week now! :hapydancsmil:

            £4.90 - aye, don't go daft! :heehee:
            They should all come on well for you with a bit of time. :thumbsup:

            Chilterns' catalogues are fatal. Do you have a mortgage? Prepare to re do that. Your windfall will just about get a couple of packets of seed though :biggrin:

              It seems Plant World Seeds are having a sale when I checked online the other day. I have a catalogue, which shows full price so may get some unusual seeds.

              Looking out for my Chiltern Seeds catalogue. Remember they use to have Max the cat Mix that chose an assortment of seed? I used to buy that each year, but the cat died and I don't think they do it any more.

              I'm always slightly wary of companies that have seed sales,especially if it's more unusual stuff.
              It suggests to me that they have had some hanging around for a long time or have new stock coming in.
              Maybe a gamble worth taking though.
