Just purchased some plug plants from ebay and was very impressed with the packaging.

Not your usual stuck in a jiffy bag with tissue and a splash of water, but in proper modules.

Credit to Ebay and vegetable growing.

They are from Wolverhampton

Try them.

I got 12 each of Cauliflower, kale, Cabbage, Leeks & Chard, had to buy (I know, should have grown them myself as would have been cheaper) as I have had such a poor showing with my Harmony potatoes that I thought I would dig them up and put winter veg in.

I'd sooner go without than pay some of those prices.

Currently listed (inc  P & P) are radish @ £3.84 for 18 = over 21p a radish and worse still 6 beetroot for £4.55 THATS OVER 75p A BEETROOT! :ohmy:
