They had seed potatoes, garlic, onions, artichokes, asparagus and plenty of spring bulbs, loads of compost, chicken manure pellets, blood , fish & bone, mini green houses, propagators.....in fact anything you need for growing almost anything, all at reasonable prices........

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
i must take more notice of things when looking around certain shops
think i will wait till the end of March to plant my Garlic after reading that link that David just put up, unless you have decent roots on them already, they might not grow through the winter, you planted yours already pipples so you will have decent roots on them to grip the soil through the frost and snow (see i do read things properly)

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
I usually think about sowing seeds in the third week of march , in a greenhouse . Don't sow your seeds too early , or you will end up with long weak plants , and it will be too cold to plant them out .

I have an electric fence round my veg patch, runs off a 12 volt car battery, cats don't like it, I had one persistent little beggar who found a way to jump it, so I threaded some fine wire back and forth along the plot,
that taught it a lesson, you could see the foot prints in the snow, where it kept jumping up and down, each time landing astride the fine wire, till it escaped.
Retlaw.
