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.

I will have a look through my box Eileen, but it doesn't ring any bells. Do you want me to ask further afield?

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.

Eileen, tis an addiction isn't it. I dread opening seed catalogues as I find it hard to resist temptation!
