I've got loads of the £1 version, they're on the small side, but very useful for starting things off or protecting plants in small pots or seed trays.

Shirl I got my spuds Sunday, Rocket, Kestrel and Anya, tried to get Lady Chrystl but no joy. Kea my 4x6 plastic greenhouse was £17.49 early last year and I have put it up indoors in the play room to get the seeds started.  ;D ;D ;D

Yes Kea a walk in one, with one line of six foot shelving, I think it was last Jan/Feb half price at instores, I was reading one of your posts earlier Kea and it reminded me to email my mate in NZ, so thanks for that. I thought that as well Northener when I heard that some people were buying theirs  :-\ so I checked my diary from last year and I had bought them this early and left them in my shed at the lottie so I thought I would do the same this year, something I think Saddad said about get them quick before they run out made me think that since the credit crunch shops at Christmas have been under ordering or not replacing when sold out so I thought get em in just in case.  ;D ;D ;D

tried our local wilkos in merthyr tydfil today for the cloches but they didn't have any. Assistant seemed to think they were possibly old stock left over from last year. Got to wait now for there new stock due in in the next couple of weeks :(

Checked in on Saturday and the gardening section has filled out a lot.....was going to buy a cloche or two but too difficult to carry with the walk-in greenhouse!!!!!! Just the small £30 one....don't know what I'm going to do with it, it will have to go to the allotment with lots of guy ropes and bricks to hold it down. The table tennis players won't be impressed if I try to put it up at home the garden is not big enough for both!

Glad to be of help with your memory, Kev where  is your mate in NZ?
