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

    What pot? You say you are going to put them in a hanging basket. They are only small plants, they don't need a deep pot at the moment.

    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.

    I had both cataracts done three years ago, two ops some months apart. Operations were no problem, they were done in a private facility by a company with an NHS contract. I still need glasses for driving and to correct the astigmatism, but for reading no glasses.

    seed potatoes with long shoots

    You can leave them in a cool light space for a while if you're not ready to plant out yet. The shoots will green up and strengthen a bit. Plant carefully as already said.
