2024 seeds and stuff I’ve bought acquired today

Cheap seeds are appearing in cheap shops, so I bought a few packs of flower seeds, a few bare root roses, some seed starting compost, and some colourful primroses because my daughter and I are trying to grow a rainbow, as in a book she has

I also bought some greenhouse tape to try to bodge together my cheap and decidedly not at all cheerful greenhouse.

Not bought, but acquired at the Splott Seed Swap. Thirty six packets.
