Went to wilkos on Saturday, bad move the OH insisted he come with me, tried to saunter down the gardening isle in a very cool manner and everything i looked at he said "do you really need that right now?" and looked me hard daring me to say yes, as he was right, i did not need anything, i just wanted it all, so i came away with a plastic cabinet on wheels with 6 drawers that i will be using to store my seeds in, in fact it has worked out so well i am getting another one and will be labelling the drawers Jan-Dec so i can crop rotate.......still sulking about the perlite and seeds tho.....

will be doing a sneaky visit back without him......

can recommend the rooster spuds and Maris Peer as purchased both from there last year and they grew well, had to get my PFA from a garden centre as i like to plant a large bag of them as they are lush!!!!!!

 ;D ;D Lottiedolly! My OH is a garden shopping killjoy. His favourite phrase is "do you really need that now!" I never go and get seeds with him-I always take the girls as they are my shopping monkeys-go on mum, just buy it...!  ;D
Don't throw paper away. There is no away.

Although not seeds our Wilco's has some terracotta "pins" with herb names on them @38p each... about ten different names..  had to buy some.. will probably paint them with pva to keep water out of them, to reduce the chance of them getting frosted..  :)

See, because of him i never even got to see the little terracotta signs, they sound nice and i prob would have got some of them, especially if they have them with herb names on them, they would look sweet in herb pots.

Thats it now, MUST go back without him
