It also saves those expensive F1 seeds for next year and provides you with more plants if you only have a few seeds from an exchange.

That's a REALLY good one! ;)

That is good, especially with the price i paid for my sungold F1's.

I'll grow 2 next year and take shoot cuttings off them instead of planting all the seeds from the pack (7 bloomin seeds for nearly £3)  :ohmy:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Ha Ha, i do buy most of them from moles D.D. but OH bought them for me this year as i had been going on about them so much.

They were a spare of the moment thing last time and i lost the pack on the way from the shop to the car  :nowink:

So i never bothered getting any more that time.  ::)

Wow, that is expensive, I only paid 50p for potted plants (reduced from £1 as a bit straggly) and they have romped away after I planted them horizontally with just the top 9" out of the soil.

After reading on here I popped a big sideshoot straight into the greanhouse soil and it's growing away happily now :)
