HomeBase are doing a Jamie Oliver range this year, including plants and

It all seems to be a lot more expensive than standard products.

What (if anything) do you get for the extra money?

A lot of the JO tomato plants are currently being "remaindered" and don't
look particularly healthy.


I think you already know the answer to your question.
The products are the same, but with a markup to JO for using his name.

Just the same as any other name-branded products.

The "remainders" are looking very sad in my local HB, too. I think
some tomatoes are grafted, but basically, who cares? Yes, just another
celeb rip-off. I mean, what's next? Wayne Rooney's recipe book?
Jonathan Ross's paving slabs? Vladimir Putin's sweet peas?
