    I will move them into the garage tomorrow David, thanks again.  I think I may well grow some more in March, I will spend more on some seeds and compare the results.

  • A collection I've grown many times and would recommend to anyone: www.eaglesweetpeas.co.uk/gallerydetail.php?g=4&i=4

    That looks quite expensive initially but for 100 seeds it's not bad, mine were ??1 each for Old fashioned mixed (35 seeds) and Singing The Blues (25 seeds).



    I might treat myself, thanks again David.
  • I think they are very reasonable considering the effort that goes into producing them. For instance, I bet you wouldn't believe that the original seed (grown in this country) has to be shipped to New Zealand to produce the seed we buy from them......these seed growing contracts are very expensive.

    There's a big, big difference with the seed produced by established breeders.

    Not good for air miles thenimage I only bought cheap because I don't have a lot of confidence in myself yet and with so much to spend on plants etc didn't want to waste money, but I think you've persuaded me David and will probably order some image

  • Can't go along with that analogy, Tracy....I think you need to give yourself the best chance.

    Mention my name when you order, you may even get a discount. image
