Roy, PM me your addy & I'll send you a voucher 8)

I've just come back from there and....VIVA! Las Vegas!! Got 14 huge white Las Vegas bulbs in my pot - most of them having healthy off-spring ;D

And I was given a voucher for a free heather ::) to be collected between 9th-22nd October......suppose that when you go for that they'll give you another voucher - a Christmas decoration perhaps? ;D

Missed out on the seeds (to add insult to injury the assistant told me they had been giving them away yesterday & had boxed up the remainder!!!) but I got my bulbs today.

Got it all worked out - Thursday - up to Crews Hill.

There's the Farmer's Market at the nice little nursery, then on to Wyevales for the first run.  Then in the cafe for elevenses, then a second run.  My name one one voucher, Howard's on the other - painless.

Got mine at the w/e ... Las Vegas and King Alfred or something.  They'd run out of the really pretty ones.

Sorry to whoever bought them after me, as I picked up the wrong sized pot (ever hopeful), filled with a mixture of said above bulbs, then realised I needed to put some back .... only couldn't tell which was which, so returned them confidently and made a quick exit.

... and today opened the carrier bag to find they are all going mouldy !!!!   (The pot was whisked away at the checkout and bulbs tossed into a carrier bag). 

Q - will they be OK, how can I stop them getting more mouldy ?
