thompson and morgan

Hi All, having recently purchased 1 packet of seeds from the above I was horrified to fine my p&p to be £2.29. The seeds arrived second class in a jiffy type envelope which I could have purchased for less than 50p. Also in the envelope were 4 leaflets advertising their offers, these weighed more...

new lawnmower

Hi All,

my petrol lawnmower has finally given up the ghost and I am looking to get a new petrol replacement.

If possible I would like one that does stripes, and is for a medium size garden.

Has anybody got a good lawnmower they can recommend.

Thanks Tracie

Re: samphire

Hi,

having checked the web site it looks like I am going to be sent Salicornia europaea.

It will be interesting to see what arrives, and what condition it comes in. I will keep you informed, thanks for the words of warning,
