Just a note in passing to say that last weekend HomeBase in Ipswich had
the sickliest, weediest, nastiest tomato seedlings I have ever seen.

If I had grown them, I would have thrown them.

You have to wonder why they even bothered to put them out on display.

I bought my small number of plants from a local farm shop / nursery.
They were far superior.
I was just looking in HB to see if they had any other interesting varieties.

Should have complained to the manager but was distracted by other things.

Still, I now have two chillis, one sungold tomato, and three courgettes
out in pots and they seem to be happy so far.

Cheers

Need your full address please. I must send my grandchildren somewhere
else for their Sungold fruit. They pillage my plants unmercifully
believing I grow them purely for children. As if I would!
