Sounds like you have a busy time ahead. You might put a Marigold glove in with the compost or possibly some cheap freezer bags on a roll.

Want a rack full of sticks??   :D

Hard to say with prices-what ever the market can take? . I would want something special for £1 a herb but I`m a grower remember-and courgettes are popular this time of year-I might go in at 75p and come down if they don`t move.

Good luck anyway

You might want to pack sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds for people to grow next year.

You might find that seeds that you can grow in pots like finger carrots, salad etc might also work?

Good luck
