    Blimey Pamsdish! Wilkos must have very small marker pens. I hope the staff have been assessed for eye-strain. :rotfl:

    Perhaps it's because whenever I've bought seeds in Wilkos, only half of them have ever germinated - the trick of course is knowing which half and to buy only those.

    Poor germination is a point, I find that some packs have 100s of seeds when I only want enough for my hanging basket, Or just for a group in the border,

    I dont think they keep from year to year so I sow plenty for my self and the rest for the seed parcel.

    So if I only get half germinate thats plenty for me
