    I'm quite a newcomer to growing from cuttings, but so far it seems to be workingimage

    Hi Rosie,

    A square metre  or metre and a half required for mine. They'll go in the back of my car with the back seats down but wouldn't go in a small boot.

    I can do 50 miles no problem,a bit more maybe. 

    These are the plants

     Ignore the euphorbia creeping in from the side, that's in the ground.

    Not much of a pic is itimage but I'm not much of a photographer

    I should have about 100 x 9cm pots, ready by end May/early June.  I'll try and use the square pots as they pack more easily.

    I live near Guildford, and work in Windsor, so could easily get them to the A3, M3 (fleet services), M4, or M40 (beaconsfield area).

    Break23 had offered to take my plants if I could get them to Worthing, but not sure what their next step would be from there - feels a bit like i would be moving them further away from their destination!

    Excellent, thanks Chicky!

    I'm still working on this, I can get my own plants down to Somerset and probably do one other journey. But wouldn't it be great if someone like B&Q or Dobbies would do it? they have the right kind of transport; food companies would not be able to transport plants.

    Nut, I've PM'ed you.

    Possible solution for at least some of your plants!

    Hi Philippa - I've PM'ed you.  Thanks!

    Just to let everyone know, we've got another load of plants going down from Lizzie (via me and Philippa) and I think and hope we've got a solution for at least some of Nut's.

    Hoorah - plants on the move!

    Still working on a solution for others... but feeling a little more hopeful now, got some good leads....
