no he's normally quite good & will pass the odd plant along.
Unlike the two greedy beeps this year who probably grabbed two thirds of the plants before Mr Kobayashi even had a chance to unpack the box after he got distracted by someone who want to buy all the seed which he wasn't having.
All I can say of the prices Jane, is they are far better value than
