1st May In A Holiday Mood

It's clear that life's just about over when you have to spend a bank holiday afternoon trawling around Dobbies Garden Centre along with herds of other greying individuals in various stages of physical and mental corruption. Loading up a trolley with strawberry plants at 99 pence each, and a few packets of vegetable seeds, Isabelle intimates "It'll be at least £50" . If I'd said to the woman at the check out " Shall we just call it 50 quid?" that would have been the bargain of a lifetime.
" That'll be £118.93"
"?"
"It was the seeds, they're about £2 each"
"What, per actual seed?"

F me. I've seen cheaper magic beans.

once you factor in other costs like the team drafted in to do landscaping works you're looking at a payback period in soft fruit of approximately 12 to 15 years

£2 a seed? By weight is this is more expensive than Gold?

Someone out there is getting very rich indeed off the back of this.

I blame the smoothie makers. Damn them and their fruity deliciousness!

try that again. Isabelle bought grow bags from Dobbies today. I've tried to tell her that you only ever get green tomatos this close to the arctic circle I don't know what they'll work out at each?probably about £4.50 per tomato.
