Oh tangentisation, that's the name of the game, it's a new generation, and we know who's to blame.

I do hope you're not implying that the discussions about alternative uses for Aldi products went off at a tangent from your thread, BM That was never our intention
Do you think that the cold frame is worth buying?

[Bren In Pots]

I did wonder about the seeds and cutting tray - 40 pots for £2.99. Yes, I have loads of pots but they're mostly larger ones and those look a good size for succession sowing

I bought those a couple of years back they're just the right size for a pricked out seedling. I couldn't get on with the tray though it was too wobbly when filled with pots and compost.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Bren Sit it in a gravel tray perhaps? I'll check the measurements first.

[Bren In Pots]

I ended up cutting mine to fit seed trays.

[veggiechicken]

Ar least it would keep them upright and spaced. I may have to take a look...........

[Madasafish]

Seed and cutting tray is excellent. I had few problems with it even when full of plants.. - hold by opposite corners..

What are you going to do with it, if you do? I need to know that first!

[veggiechicken]

Well, maybe building a mini raised bed to fit beneath it (as I don't have much depth of soil) and growing overwintering veggies in it. That's the sensible option - I'm still working on the alternatives

Just popped into an Aldi as I was nearby nothing left from last week (trees) and nothing out yet for Thursday Probably won't be near one then either.

Trees up here if you're desperate for some. Three stores within ten mile radius. Not the best varieties though unless you want Gala, Bramley, Golden Delicious, Cox's.

Done trees - I bought a peach and a greengage last week. I wanted to see the pots and the coldframe and maybe something else that I can't remember but would when I saw it

They're not in until Thursday honey

[Bigmallly]

If you get the coldframe VC, make sure you anchor it down well, they are only polycarb & very light. I had one a few years back & had to screw it to the concrete.

[VirginVegGrower]

He's right - I've got one in the polytunnel.
