Default Cheap(er) Gardener's Trugs & Baskets

I've fancied a nice trug or basket for harvesting since last year, but they seem so expensive. I've seen one place selling a Sussex Trug for £57.50
Anyway, I came across this site which is MUCH more reasonable, thought others might like to see

I've seen them for about 12 quid in a garden centre and thought they were a rip off!

Become MOM and GYO is likely to send you a lovely trug.
Here's the one I got.
You have to grow the fruits yourself.

No, they are picked from on high. (Then they sometimes don't get their MOM banner - Admin have been very late in updating Small Blue Planet - good job she's on her hols and won't sulk!)
