Ordering Plants and Seeds, the cost of postage.

The Dilemma of Ordering Plants.

If you like growing things as I do, being able to shop online brings a new dimension to shopping for plants and seeds. But there is one thing I hate about it and that I feel reduces the desire to click the final buy button to complete the purchase. When the postage is added o the garden products I have selected and then t the final stage and the additional cost of postage/delivery is more than I thought it would be.
That is the point when I sometimes, walk away to make a cup of tea. There are times when that added on delivery cost makes me decide to buy locally instead.

I would like to have a postage/delivery 'tally' showing on the websites, alongside the things we place in the virtual shopping basket. Visiting online plant sellers and seed merchants is a pleasure, I just find the delivery cost a bit of a pain and more than I had estimated sometimes.

I have to thank my wonderful husband for all the time and effort he put into helping me get the allotment 'in order'. As on my own it had been impossible to lay paths and clear some of the deep rooted brambles that we had on the plot.

Eventually with his help, we got to the stage where it had paths and looked like a real allotment. Together we created a place that was a timeless place, an escape from the modern world.

Thank you, for all your time and hard work and also for sharing my enthusiasm for digging up the first new potatoes of the year.
