Wilkos are very good value for gardening products, went to the plot yesterday to harvest lettuce, tomatoes, sweetcorn and courgettes. Had to replace three kale plants which had been munched and managed to get a row of leeks into the ground. The sweetcorn was very juicy but still a bit green so maybe by next week they will be perfect.
