Hi everyone. 
Is there any other British member that has purselane seeds on offer at the moment? I know they are gererally thought of as a weed but my fruitarian son wants to grow them. They are supposed to be good in salads or used in a stir-fry.
Thanks.

Thanks EJ but I actually trawled through all the online seed catalogues and eventually found them in T&M's catalogue. £1.69 for 1000 seeds - not bad. However, I did erm ..... order just a few more packs of seeds for myself too.  Three varieties of sweet peas, some ornamental grasses and some night scented stock.  Well they were going cheap honest.
