    You never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow
  • Aldi have fruit plants coming up next week, check out their website is a reasonable selection at 1.99
  • Thank you all for your replies on this. I have ordered some on ebay and checked out Aldi ( I managed to get a lovely fushia there whilst researching!). I was really encouraged to look at the websites recommended to see that I could buy reliable stuff away from the garden centre.
