    Hi all just thought you guys might like to know that Wilkinson's has their 'growing stuff' now in.

    Although you well might find you seed potatoes far cheaper from your allotment site shop as well as onion sets etc. Wilco has cheap fruit brushes Red/black currant, blackberries etc.at £1 each although you don't get given the variety of the plant at £1 they are good starter plants for newbies.

    They also have larger plants at £2,£3 and £4 each which includes Gooseberry, figs, lemons etc.Hel.xxx.

    I'm stil waiting for mine to get all their stock in,

    They also have little kits to grow toms, peppers, some herbs, chillis, what's in there is enough to grow one plant for £1, great for kids, small homes and for a first timer

    I can't wait till mine has the berry bushes in, yum yum

    Yes our local (ish) branch has those plastic 'grow-pots' in too Sweetpea the shop also has some very nicely painted pot ones I think they are about £2 or so and would make an idea gift for someone or maybe just a treat for yourself.:wink:

    Kathy sweetie I don't know what I would do without Wilkcos although even without a Wilcos near where you are I think you have the better deal what with that wonderful view you have to wake-up to every morning you're a very lucky girl indeed.:) Hel.xxx.
