Spuds, onions and shallots etc
« on: January 23, 2011, 16:38:38 »
Hi all, I bought my spuds today from our local Clockhouse Nursery this was the other stuff I bought.
Rocket earlies were  £3.15 for 3kg
Kestrel seconds were £3.20 for 3kg
GG Shallots  were £2.00  for 1kg
Turbo onions were £1.50 1kg
Levington Seedling compost 20L and a 40L bag of dark peat compost were £4.98
Not bad for under 15 quid.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
