I weakened and bought a 3rd lot of seeds from Nutsncones. So cheap at less than 30p a packet and I've been very pleased with the random assortment I've received and the quantity of seeds in each packet.

I've bought some tomato supporting clips, they clip round canes or string. It'll save tying things up with string perhaps. Anyone else tried them?

I use Velcro tape https://www.amazon.co.uk/VELCRO-Brand-On...V366E&th=1
I've even put a review on Amazing for this.

They look similar to the 'Brinkman' ones I bought a few weeks ago, but mine are black because I wanted ones which were more UV resistant. So far I like them. Not sure they are wide enough to accommodate a cane and a tomato stem. The string I'm using this year is Nutscene 5 ply which is much stronger than the standard garden centre rubbish that snapped on me last year. It's quite thick so the clips only just close, so next year I will probably get some of Nutscene's 'Tomato Twine' instead.

Just bought another 6 boxes of Coir compost - the ones that make 75ltrs when rehydrated.
Morries have reduced them again to £1.50 a box. They were £8 ish originally.

That is such a good deal Veggie! I'm hoping I can get Jay to nip in tomorrow when he's near a Morrisons anyway... in the hope they have some reduced in the same way there!
