Smug

I'm sory - i just can't help it........

Tescos are selling little butternut squash - not quite 6 inches long - at ONE POUND each. From China.

I planted five plants last year - (seeds about £2.50 from T&M) and had two large (Tesco) polybags that are still supplying us.

And two were as big as rugby balls

You have all right to feel smug!! When I am buying seeds my partner starts rolling his eyes as they seem quite expensive, but if you think how expensive vegetables are - not to mention organic veg -I feel it's completely justified buying the seeds

You can feel smug on another count too - my butternut squash plants (that I bought) just withered away, and I don't think I'm the only one who failed with these last year. Maybe this year.
