I'll have to pop in there to see what they've got.

Acquired a wormery and a hydroponics thingy. Not sure how that will work yet but it has lots of little black pots and some white cubes of something.

White cubes probably sponge for holding the plant stems?

Possibly, TMTT, I'll have a good look tomorrow, if the GH hasn't blown away.

Seeds I ordered last week arrived today.
From Real Seeds: Onion "Globo", Cicilly Giant radish, Fairy Tails iceberg lettuce, Salad Mix nasturtium.
From Sea Spring Seeds: Peppers "Early Jalapeno", Bell Boy" and "Tequila".
Also last week I have to confess to an impulse buy of Sunflower Giant Single in the supermarket.

From Happy Green Shop:

3 x Cress (I go through a lot of this)
Rudbeckia Green Eyes
Rudbeckia Goldilocks 
Zinnia dwarf Pepito
Sweet Pea Erewhon
Sweet Pepper mini bell Chocolate

The order also came with some freebies:
Zinnia Aztec mix
Tagetes Starfire mix
Portulaca 

I've also ordered some french beans for shelling from Beans and Herbs:

Coco Bicolour
Deb's Creek
Tunny

And the Michael Pollan green tomato from an eBay seller.

I *think* I'm done buying seeds for this season.

Just realised I forgot the post I'd bought my Charlottes on the 19th from the corn merchants.

Had most of a £50 voucher left to spend at the garden centre, it was a prize for a local garden photo competition from a few years ago.

Wanted some evergreen climbers to replace a rose so got:

Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles'
Clematis armandii 'Apple Blossom'

Had to find some things to spend the rest of the voucher on, so took a visit to the reduced section and got:

Buddleia 'Lavender Cupcake'
Thyme 'Golden Queen'

A big block of compressed coir delivered today, supposedly expands to 75 litres. £11.20 to go on the balance sheet.
