I think I will send my mother down to Palmer's for me to get some seeds! I've just got to decide what to get. Sending them sounds like the answer, given the problems with having them with you in transit anywhere! Hmm now, feijoas, what else? Any suggestions for a kiwi patio garden? Anyone. Suggestions would be much appreciated, particularly from southerners, them having a similar climate (sorry I'm a namby pamby Aucklander!).
