    @Marley Farley and @Aldo thank you both very much for your input. I’m might give the tomatillos a go next year, if I can find some seeds....

    Brilliant! Thank you!
    I know that sometimes my questions may see a little odd, but please bear with me. :noidea: I don’t have access to UK garden centres, and neither Sutton’s or Thompson and Morgan are available in Belgium garden shops, as far as I am aware.

    Hi Sian, just an idea- if you need seeds and can't find/ get them delivered them locally, you could perhaps ask a forum member to order some for you when they place their own order, and send to you. PayPal is an easy way to pay the costs.

    I usually get some more exiting seeds from Chiltern seeds in early spring, just let me know if there's anything you'd like. :)

        @Selleri and @Marley Farley thank you for your kind offers.

        At the moment Chiltern Seeds (my seed supplier of choice) deliver to Belgium for just £1 more than to the UK, so I just get the seeds sent home. Getting them delivered to Mum’s has the risk of spending months trying to find where she has put them “safe”, if she gets to them before her live-in carer.
        Of course, we have no idea what will happen post-Brexit....:dunno:
