Can't stop - re plant pots Morries either sell their flower buckets or give them away, we bought a load a couple of years ago for 10p each, some stores they are free, it's worth asking if you need pots and have a store near by.

Himself has visor & gloves, and is looking to sort the boots & trousers. Not easy for a chap who is abundantly huggable! 
I take the point about not fretting about the seedlings with a handy garden centre, and when I kill these tomato seedlings will undoubtedly be headed there...
Mogs? Do those big pots cheap or free?  <plans being drawn up>

Chainsaws scare me. I'm far too accident prone to go near one. Nope. Nope. Nopity. Nope.

My tomato seedlings are coming on nicely. Which, after DD's handling of them this weekend whilst transplanting to larger pots is honestly nothing short of a miracle! Several looked close to death, and then just bounced back! Pure luck!

I'll have you know that a chainsaw is a very handy item to have around the home, you can use them for all sorts of jobs. Like cutting up large portions of meat for the freezer.

Or gardening. Certain kinds of gardening.

I recently read a book about large items being cut up and put in a freezer. It wasn't pretty.

It's ok. Once you know how.

Alternatively, Ivyleaf, give it away. I know a certain lady in Scotland who might find it useful.

   Excellent idea!  This is the second time I've tried to post this. the first time it vanished as though it had never been....

Thank you - will definitely ask if I am nearby!

Ming you delicate blossom, where'd you get your chainsaw trous? I'm lacking the kilos of steel split rings to knit Himself enough chainmail & anyway the braces dragging on the shoulders will affect the chainsaw handling.
As for the cutting up & freezing, Middleson says he's seen some reference material on Netflix...

It's somewhat of a niche skill, DfV.

Question for the seasoned tomato-growers - do I really really need this perlite/vermiculite additive that the gardening websites advise putting in with the compost?
