Trust stuff from garden centers?

okay, maybe a bargain to their original price It is cheaper growing from seed, you're correct - but as the rest of my peas + beans are already established, 50p for two large plants isnt too bad!

And I guess it's a bargain as opposed to spending �2.50 for a pack of them from the shop One plant is already fruiting more than those small packs you get from the supermarkets. They were labelled 'organic' too, I did haggle - I think they were marked up at 3.99 each, so 50p over pretty much �8 isn't too shabby!

Lets get this right, they were seriously originally asking �3.99 for one single mange tout plant! Even if you mean a pot with a few in that's robbery, no wonder they were selling them off cheaper, especially when you can just shove them in the soil and they grow

I went to dobbies and they had 6 tomato plants for a fiver...only 1 was dead so they where selling 5 for a quid. I grabbed them right up!
