    Think I may have to get some more, and at £2.50 for ready to plant flowering helibores I don't think I can turn them down imageimage

    They are miles away from you unfortunately Tracey image they are being sold on the plant stall at my local market (in Essex). I get quite a lot of my plants there as I don't drive and I can take them home on the bus, not to mention the fact that they are very good value for money imageimage

    I recently bought some from Lidl, £3.99 I have had plants from Lidl before and they have always been very good.

    Just done some more leaf removing of ours,.................third day of doing it and got about a third of them done. Some of them have over 50 leaf stalks on them, all needing removing.

    I must have missed seed removing as well, there are hundreds of seedlings around, they need weeding out.
