    OK - well, as it is you Sheal (and I wouldn't do this for everyone you know) - if you ever need a surrogate for Bacardi soaking punishment, I will take the punishment on your behalf.

      Oh you are so generous FC. You are duly elected as surrogate as long as you handle the hangover as well. :heehee:

            What variety did you sow - and where did you get them?

            I don't have a lot of experience with Mr Fothergills seeds, but I assume they are usually quite good?

            I've got some Gallery Red and Yellow - these are film coated so I won't be soaking, although I have had them a couple of years so not sure of their viability but we shall see. I have never soaked or chitted. Hopefully this year the snails won't eat the whole tray before I get to pot them up :dunno:

            I got all my veg seeds from them this year, everything looks fine. My germination rates are a bit lacking but that's totally down to my own inexperience and lack of tools for the job.

            Some good offers too!

                £25! I hope that was for a litre!

                Sainsbury's own version white rum is perfectly palatable, and better still a 1.5L bottle is just under £23.
