I was in Poundstretcher this afternoon and they were filling up the shelves with gardening stuff. I couldn't resist it, I bought a rose "Queen Elizabeth" for £3.49. There's not a lot of root on her but I expect she will be fine eventually. She's a tough, vigourous one is our Queen. She's going in the front garden by the gate post, but I've put her in a pot for the time being.
Bought my Charlottes yesterday they're now on the windowsill.
My aquasitions up til now this year are:-
Sharpes Express seed potatoes (B&M)
Sturon Onion Sets (B&M)
Ceturion Onion Sets (B&M)
Red baron Onion sets (B&M)
Two mahoosive Garlic heads (Lidl veg counter)
Paul & Becky's Asturian Tree Cabbage (Real Seeds)
Sutherland Kale (Real Seeds)
Greek Gigantes Soup Runner Beans (Real Seeds)
Popped into Wilko yesterday and got some Nicola potatoes and fertiliser.
Bob came home with 10 escallonia hedging plants on Sunday.
My seed dealer has sent me some lovely kale seeds. 2 varieties I’ve never tried before. Very exciting. Thank you.
My seed potatoes will not be delivered until mid to end of February

I've heard stories about that seed dealer, I fear there's a touch of madness, the dealer keeps giving seeds away.
Popped into Home Bargains and nabbed some Centurion, Stuttgarter and Red Baron onion sets
I keep thinking I've finished buying seeds for this year, but I still managed another little order:
Lettuce little gem
Tomato black truffle
Butternut squash Waltham
Swiss chard rainbow mix
And some flowers + climbers:
Tithonia red torch (Mexican sunflower)
Borage
