        Very kewl!!! Is the car off the floor now? :loll: I will sort those seeds here shortly. It's a bit early to start most but you can get stuff ready. Go to Thompson and Morgan web site and request a catalog too. Then you can browse through and see what catches your eye.

            FM this is such fantastic news..!!! :yahoo: You will have such fun with it.. I love mine.. I have 3 but not all here The really big tunnel size one is up at the farm... My 2 in the garden are always bulging now..!!!! :heehee: Ooh so pleased for you i will have a look & see if I have any spare seeds.. I had a clear out last year, but bound to be something for you... :yay: :dbgrtmb:
            Good luck with putting it together.. Lay all the pieces out on the lawn & sort it first, sorted all the clips & screws into separate relevant pots so you are not searching all the time for the right ones, then just do what the instructions say even if they do sound weird..!! :D :yay: Good Luck.!! :yay:

                Brilliant news, FM.:D:thumbsup: Why don't you put a list up of seeds you might want and see if any members have got any spare. SteveR is, hopefully, running a seed parcel system from contributions of members to other members wanting them so there's a source of seeds for you as well.

                    Not a problem, FM, as you'll probably find those kind of seeds being sent to you anyway. You'll learn the names by experience, just don't be put off by failure or mistakes as we all have them and do them:heehee::D

                        FM you will soon get the hang of it all... Those are white & pinky Petunias by the way in your basket in the tree too & you can certainly start seed in your greenhouse for them... :sunny:
                        Just remember that..
                        Annuals = Just for that year then die off.. Bedding plants & hanging basket plants are usually annual..
                        Perennials.. Re-shoot every year often clump forming.. More the sort of plants you would put in a border or large tubs..
                        Hanging basket plants are often trailing & annuals..
                        You can narrow your searches down by looking at specific categories & then the plants.. You are going to have great fun & we are all about to help or send seed so don't worry about that.... :D Looking forward to watching your progress mate.. :sunny:

                            Good luck with the greenhouse FM. :dbgrtmb: As was suggested above, sending off for seed catalogues is a good guide for you. The info in these will tell you what areas the plants are used for, whether it be borders, baskets etc. They also give you a guide on trailing plants as well as whether they like sun or shade and so on.

                            I buy from Suttons, the guide to the contents in there is very good.

                            You'll get hooked soon enough and won't be able to resist what's for sale, just like the rest of us! :D
