Hi Longk,

Thanks for putting the web site up

 

@JWK and I , possibly a few others have used Brookside for a few years . The quality of the plugs , price and delivery are spot on Good thing is you can reserve your delivery week on order - mine are due next week .
Sunpatiens
Surfinias
Begonia Million kisses
and
Ipomoea Bright Ideas Green , new to me ,not sure what I do with it?

 

It looks rather like Ipomea batatas which is the sweet potato. It would be interesting to see if it has a tuber of any description at the end of the season.

 

I have their latest catalogue but haven't yet bought anything from Brookside.
It's great to know their plants are good quality.
I might try some of their veg plug plants as this year will be my first time growing my own veg.
Think I'm a bit of a kleptomaniac with packets of flower seeds though...I've got hundreds !
I'll be starting to sow things soon because the outside temperatures here (S.E. Scotland) are just starting to pick up. Today, for example, it is 12*C outside right now but with a feel of 6*C due to wind chill. Overnight, temps here will drop down to 5*C by 1am (-4*C with windchill). (accuweather.com).
I don't have a heated greenhouse yet so will have to start seeds on a sunny windowsill then move them out to my little polytunnel.

 

The Brookside order arrived today bang on the delivery time I requested . Once again the max plugs are top quality and bursting with health . I'll just let them air tonight and pot them on tomorrow

 

Those plugs look very good. I'll definitely order some from there
