Look like root cuttings. I think I'll grow some if I can sell cuttings at that price. Rip off!!

I found physalis quite easy to start from seed a couple of years ago - I killed them all later by not watering them, but they did germinate.

I've been refunded for the potting bench from B&Q. It did sound too good to be true....

Incidentally - five bigger and better root cuttings that are already “showing signs of growth” in Wilko today for just £2.50.
