Maybe the advertising pays towards the mag, like ITV.

Beware of Parkers Bulbs. .

Everytime I buy something from parkers, they enclose a booklet giving all the info even whether they need slug protection, I do pot up their perennials for the winter and plant out in spring thougth.
I bought the funniest thing from them, as I thought, just 5 pieces of root,, I laid it in a tray and covered it with gravel,(just like carol does) and it's now starting to shoot.
My alamanchia and acer, bought last year for 1.99 and planted in the Spring are now 3feet tall and covered in leafbuds, my daughter, K, paid a fortune for her acer and they are both the same size now.
I like to buy small plants and watch them grow on, some people like the instant garden look.

I can't always agree there Steve, that can come across as passive aggression.
But does it really matter, it's soon passed and if you let yourself get upset, and leave the forum, you are the one to lose out,

With regard to buying bags for the compost bin, I wouldn't spend out for them personally, but some people like them.

I know what you mean about coming across as sarcastic or nasty, I posted a comment on a thread when I hadn't been here very long just to be told that was ridiculous. I was contemplating not posting again but then I thought, sod it, who cares, we are not likely to meet the other people so here i am, still here.
People seem to be much more sensitive and touchy these days, don't know why.

pepper plants

Sure do bob, my conservatory faces east south and west so is wonderful for growing in. It's also double glazed and I sometimes run a dehumidifier in there to keep the air circulating.

I did pot them on gradually Bob, and kept them in my conservatory all the time, they ripened up a treat but not many of them, although the plants were about 2.5ft tall.
I will try pollinating them. Thank you.
