On the positive side, free eye test was very thorough, although I did splash out on an extra scan for the princely sum of £5. Can’t fault the optician,...

    is there a reason why my Gaultheria Procumbens keeps getting dug up

    While it is low growing, it's not trailing so you will have to position the basket carefully to get a good view of the red berries. It likes moist well drained soil you will have to water regularly.

    Green happy shop for seeds

    Thanks for the tip. Will definitely try them next year. I usually order from Chiltern Seeds but are unhappy with the germination rate as soon as cultivars are used.
