    I found it the other day when I wanted to use some of my paypal balance. Once I realised that they did free p&p over £6 odd I just had to keep adding. They came really quickly too, and well packaged.

    Lovely in a sarnie with philadelphia and tomato (and black pepper) or sprinkled into a potato salad. In summer grab a bunch and snip them with scissors over a salad.

    Chives are good in any cheese or egg dishes.
    Loving the sunny days!

    How do you grow parsley? I've tried for the last 3 years and fail every time!! I've desparate to grow some as we use lots in our coooking.

    I've got mint, lavender and thyme on my allotment. the rosemary didn't survive the winter. At home in pots i have rosemary, marjoram and thyme. I've got a lovely bay plant which is turning into a mini tree! I've had this a few years now in a fairly small pot, do you think I need to repot or feed it at some point?

    thanks.

    I almost forgot, until chives were mentioned - I've got tree onions. I'd never even heard of them until a very nice woman offered some on our Freecycle:
