Supermarket tom & chilli plants?

[smallblueplanet]

Have had a bit of a disaster this year with our seed compost, used sieved new horizon peat free vegetable compost - which last year was good and this year is like chipped bark!

So all my chilli and tomato seedlings have basically been in stasis and have hardly grown.

Has anyone seen any named varieties of tomato and chilli plants n places lke Lidl or B&Q or supermarkets? Thanks. )

B&Q had named toms but only rubbish varieties, didn't notice any chillies in ours though

I have no idea where Rousdon is.

You're not the only one. Near Jonnyt I suppose but we don't know where that is either!
Our garden centres generally have a good range of plants, have you tried yours, or is that a silly question.

I've had a quick look, but not gonna pay silly prices for ordinary varieties. Did see that Lidl have some veg plants on sale soon.
