Good idea Mischa! :T

What I'd like to see:-

* More perennial/biennial plants grown from seed by stallholders - one packet of say 100 seeds ... keep 20 yourself for your own garden, sell the rest for 50p each. Plant now for bienniels such as wallflower, canterbury bells, forgetmenots, foxgloves

Oh - that is a good idea too - totally forgot about those!

But TBH I see people selling those anyway, plants and seeds so maybe that was why I didn't mention it!

Sorry for the questions mods feel free to delete my posts after, but where is the Bath one? I went to the one in Standerwick, but you had to pay to get in so never going there again.

There is supposed to be one in Warminster, but can't see it advertised anywhere this year.

Hi - re the Bath one - I don't know Bath well at all, as far as I remember it was on outskirts but no idea where it was or what it was called, sorry! My brother's fiancee's parents live there, not me!

I will ask them for the details and either post or PM them to you with details if I have them re entry fees or not.

It won't let me click the thanks button so I'm going to do it the old fashioned way and say thank you

Does anyone know if the Harpole Carboot sale is on the 29th May? I have conflicting info and dont really want to get up at 0600hrs to find out that it was last week! Are ther any other good car boots sales in Northampton?

Just wondered if any one knew of any bank holiday Monday car boots going on tomorrow ? Cheers x

It should be advertised in your local paper - ours are. One of my local ones is on, the other doesn't do BHs so best to check. If you want to post tour area on here, others may be able to help

Out of interest, does anyone know the history of why car boot sales start so early in the morning? I have seen a few that call themselves late starters, but even they open at 8.30am or something! I would much prefer to go to one in the afternoon because getting up at 5.30am doesn't appeal! Even as a buyer, I would like to find an afternoon one to go to.

In the County Durham area, where I am, afternoon sales are getting a lot more popular and there are a couple which don't start until 4pm.
