"These plants will fill a 1mx1m plot or 5m row with 20cm spacing between plants"  actually she gives you  60 seedlings by the way Price: £54.90

thats got to be the biggest rip off ive seen the best offer ive seen is this one for flowers but they all are small plants that need growing on but still good value http://www.jparkers.co.uk/Index.cfm?fuseaction=product.standard&continueaction=category.standard&category_id=478&producttype_id=49210

FOR SALAD!!!???   :o :o :o

That is outrageous.  The seeds would cost a couple of quid and unless she is personally looking after them 24/7 then there is no excuse for charging that much money.

No one at our plant sale... (sadly)  ;D

Rhubarb Thrasher

to be fair, she gives you £5 off if you buy the Summer and Winter salads at the same time (£104.80  ;D ;D ;D) oh I never checked if there was postage on top  ;D

Have these yet appeared on an MP's expenses claim? ;)  Must nearly give as much street cred as having your moat cleaned.
Getting there - just rather slowly!!

Odd.  ...

I reviewed her wonderfull product, giving my honest opinion, and it doesn't appear under the 'reviews' section.

Anybody know why that could be ?

Perhaps she will only accept favourable reviews.  ;D

Haha... what did your review say, pw?

I've reviewed it too... gave it 1*, the review was: "I think you've out the decimal point in the wrong place.".

Strangely it has yet to appear!

I left a review but there didn't seem to be any reviews to read. It works out to 91.5 pence per seedling.

Sow it, grow it, eat it.

Can't do it, gardenqueen - poor lass has got to earn an honest living like the rest of us.

I'd probably click on the wrong button anyway, and end up buying a Sarah Raven Duck Island or something

If you don't want to quite stretch to £50+ quid how about a cheaper option...

I just looked at her site again and she wants £175 for a days course of Flower Arranging for Beginners. Includes one bunch of hand tied flowers you prepare yourself! Oh boy how exciting-not!

Justy

I am definitely in the wrong job!
