Radar and snowball need to be planted by mid November, don't they?.... you might get some spring onions I guess.... garlic is a lot better bet..... though for 30p I doubt I could have restrained myself  :D

oh - we've got a Focus in Hastings, I might go.
I didn't know we could still plant garlic. I was looking at my garlic patch and wishing I had more.

Thanks for the tip James1!!
