I am not great at this either Matty, the only thing I have so far successfully grown was some radishes that my Mum took and never ate!

That was last year, this year I have planted everything and anything! Hoping I get lucky with at least one or two items. :tongue2:

Can't quite agree there.

a) Initially they take up more room than needed.
b) Re- potting give you the opportunity to bury the plant a bit deeper, firming it up & giving it a better root system.
c) The compost where there is no root system for some time while the seedling develops can go a bit "sour".

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