How's this for an offer from Marshalls

Raspberry Erika - 1 Plant in 2ltr pot

£14.95 each

For One Raspberry cane?

Ye gods!! They have GOT to have made a misprint surely!

No misprint , it's part of an offer they have
http://www.marshalls-seeds.co.uk/pot...r-cid1049.html


I told Ray about this and he just about fell over laughing! "A fool
and his money......" springs to mind but I bet it happens! The Daily
Telegraph and Crocus are selling 5 'Erika' for £13.

I've often thought that if I dug up some Couch Grass and labelled it
with it's proper name Elymus repens I'd probably sell some.


I don't think there can be any doubt!


I see some scope for "Pick your own Elymus" signs.


You used to be able to buy bundles of the roots/rhizomes/w.h.y? in
French markets, I believe for goats etc.
