    Thanks all, this is so helpful. Im going to have a go with some seeds and buy some plugs as well. Tomatos and lettuce sound fun too so will have a go with those too. This is going to be AWESOME :D

    Hope you have a great display however you go about it.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Most of the gardening places have a value range, got some from B&Q for my baskets. At 38p per packets it's worth having a go at a few. I am trying lobelia, busy lizzies, petunias, pansies. Some are starting to germinate after a week in an unheated propagator on the windowsill.

    There's a local nursery by us that sells tiny busy lizzies for you to pot on which I did last year. It was a couple of quid for 45 plants and they all thrived. They also do the same with pelargoniums. Anywhere near you that do the same sort of thing?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
