You will so enjoy :)<br /><br />Pete Duxon - Thanks Pete - its superb :) The way moss is growing round the rubber seals on windows of my corsa mine might look similar in a year or two :)<br /><br />Em Parkinson - Thanks :) We get salad burnet here in the garden in the wildflower mixed we planted but not Greater.

Some perennials cost £10!! I didn't buy any!
