I often pot on pricked out seedlings with the seed leaves almost touching the compost, if you think it might damage the stems you can pot them up and not fill the pot to the normal level, then add more compost around the stems once they are growing away nicely.

Thank you everyone, it is covered in flower buds so I'll keep it potted near the back door for fragrance and then consider where to put it. We had a pretty cold winter for here and it would have been sat outside in the sales beds during that, so is probably a lot more hardy than I had considered.

Thank you. I believe they are sending 20% each of the Sea Buckthorn and Common Privet then 50% of the Wild Privet. The gentleman on the phone told me I'd need likely 190 plants but I think he's got that a bit wrong. I'm just wondering whether I could call them as cut it down to 150 rather than 250

Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them
We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.
