I received her latest catalogues this morning, and I have to say I really enjoyed looking through them, the photographs are excellent. Seeds mostly £1.95 per packet: not too bad, but I couldn't see anywhere obvious how many seeds per packet there are.....?

The courses she offers....hmmm, most £145 for 5 hours, £95 for 2 and a half hours (including lunch; I should think so!)! I could be tempted by the 'Year round veg' course should my OH decide to splash put on an extravagant birthday present; has anyone been on one of these courses, ?enjoyed it?
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I clearly live in a different world, as they don't even send me a catalogue!
;D

And we live in a different world again, since we've never even heard of her. :(

Duh, had another look last night and the number of seeds are next to the code number of each item.......... :-\ 30 average in the tomatoes, so not too shabby.

Looking through the main catalogue, I think the four marble fern coasters for £35 will take some beating for expensive useless items......

The coasters almost tied with the plant labels, they look just regular small tiles to me. However, laugh as I am doing, I do wish her well,I would just like to hear fom somebody who pays all that money fior a lettuce plant. XX Jeannine

That would have to be that thing to put part of a cucumber in that was on Dragon's Den!

Tim, I can do frumpy too! My old flowery maternity tent (14 years old) and a pair of wellies will do it ;D

Jeannine

Hey I could challenge that with my twinset and tweed skirt, oh and the pearls of course!!

Any good Tim!!
