It's a tricky variety to get cheaply. SimplySeed have it at £1.49 for 100 seeds plus £1.69 postage, may be worth it if they have other things you're interested in.

I saw that, Mark. May have to pay them a visit, see if there are any bargains in the gardening department.

Sorry but I think that’s quite amusing. Maybe they wouldn’t be going under if they hadn’t stop delivering their products to highlands & islands. I used to order from them regularly (at least once a month ).

That must be so infuriating for you. However, I think Wilko might need a lot more orders to stay afloat.

Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin  I’m pretty sure my £50 a month wasn’t keeping them going. But that added to everyone else’s from the highland and islands who ordered, would probably be a half decent chunk of change.

It's a shame, our nearest is 16 miles away so don't visit often but they did have some good sale stuff.  I got one of these for 50p, £12 on ebay, couldn't resist a bargain.  Now I'm wondering what to do with it.

My nearest Wilko is 7 miles away, whereas I can walk to my local Home Bargains in 5 minutes. If there was a Wilko nearby I'd absolutely use it since it's so much better for gardening stuff.

My nearest is 42 miles. Once I’ve got to Oban that is. 7 miles doesn’t sound so bad. That only gets me to the end of my road.
Like you home bargains is closer only 32 miles from Oban.

Wilko's is about 5 miles away and Home Bargains is the same - in fact, they're almost next door to each other. B&M is my closest - next door to Morries.
