    I came home today to find a Moles Seeds catalogue on the mat - - and it is a big old catalogue (postman probably hates me even more now :biggrin:)!

    I have a feeling that this could become a risky situation for Mr Visa.......

      It's an expensive time of year for us gardeners and unfortunately for some it collides with that other expensive time of year. :santa wave: My Suttons catalogue has been within eyeshot for nearly three weeks, I've given myself a sneak preview but will resist the temptation a bit longer. :biggrin: It won't be long before Unwins hit the mat too!

        Ours don't start arriving until next month.

        It's so much fun to have them during the winter months and since I'm not spending money on outdoor toys, there's money for seeds!

            Spent a grand total of £15.60 getting 48 packets of seeds from T&M yesterday, reduced from over £150, not as good as all that free stuff from Vanmeuwen, but couldn't resist lots of new varieties to try at that price.

              Ooooh, it comes with a free wall planner too! Lovely brochure, loaded with temptation :dancy: - you would never believe that a book could be so interesting and exciting -- I assume that this is similar to the effects of a nuddy mag on the less mature in society? :biggrin:

                          Argh, I think I've got it now :)

                          You meant a " muddy mag " , like when I took my Amateur Gardening mag outside and dropped it in the mud :)
