I got another blackberry bush, a gooseberry bush, some flower bulbs, marigold and nasturseum seeds, a chilli growing kit and some red baron onion sets - they were quite cheap - i was very pleased!

The only thing i'm not sure about is the chilli growing kit has a terracotta pot with no drainage hole in the bottom? Won't they get waterlogged?

They'll definitely get waterlogged. Sounds like it's more a pot for show. Terracotta is notoriously brittle so it'll be hard to put in a hole without cracking the pot so just switch to something with holes. Nice find on the rest.

i'll either plant them in a normal pot and stand that on some gravel in the terracotta one or (more likely) smash the pot up to use in the bottom of other pots....

Thanks for the advice Trillian!
