However, now comes the question comes what one does with 100's of seedlings and the lack of the latest scarcity commodity, compost. Yet again I am behind the trend, loo roll then pasta and now compost joins the list of panic bought commodities along with plant food. Poor little seedlings are crowded together, large seedlings two to a pot and trays bursting with healthy young plants that are too delicate to face the great outdoors yet but in desperate need of a pot of their own to thrive and flourish. I May be reduced to begging, "Spare a handful of peat Guv for a needy courgette seedling. "Piteous tomato seedlings give me the evil eye as I water "Feed meeeeee" their spindly appearance seems to say. Perhaps lock down is getting to me a little more than I first thought, oh well.
