Looks like it’s back to DFB then

How about some pots of herbs? Basil - there's several different varieties, lemon grass, sweet potatoes, a pineapple?

Well, I have ordered seeds for Dwarf Cape Gooseberries (May try a few outdoors as well) and I have put an offer in for Trinidad Perfume chilli seeds. Still looking for more inspiration though!

Just for info, the Trinidad Perfume seeds were £1.50 for 10 seeds and the seller had allowed offers. Now to my mind, if you ask for offers I will ALWAYS make an offer before paying the full price (which was reasonable I may add) My offer of £1.35 + postage of 65p would have made it an even £2.00. The offer was rejected and I paid the £1.50.
I may sound like a tight git, but with nothing to lose, why not!
I am wondering whether Dwarf French Beans will cease to be dwarf if grown under glass?

I’ve had similar experiences. Infuriating. Why both with the offer option if you’re not going to expect any.
Hope that’s a reputable supplier or you could end up with cayenne .
