I dread the thought of trying to send Tomato plants by post........
last Year I got several very good tomato plants at a local car boot sale for
20p each and a choice of around 6 varieties, first class plants, and there's
no way I would grow them for that price.

Cabbage sprouts cauliflowers and leeks , no problem to send by post, but
lettuce (except early season) would be to soft.
Then there would be the cost, 4 tomatoes in 3inch pots would cost around
£2.50 plus the cost of the box and the cost of the plants, so around £5.00
to £6.00 for 4 plants.

Try your local allotments
