Just been sent an offer on some seeds Astrophytum on eBay until I looked where they come from Italy, as much as I would love to get some I don’t kinda trust these sales and plus they can get you with custom charges that they don’t tell you, I wonder if our local garden centres do them I’ve not seen any in the ones I have visited so far

I don't think I've had much sucess with seed from Italy yet, but that may have been my fault. I think the seed I bought that wasn't what it was meant to be was from Serbia

Yeah well that’s why I started to read the negative comments and people were saying there no good, you don’t get the right seeds and there wanting the first timers who don’t really no what there getting into, now if it had been from a uk or someone well known who’s trustworthy from over seas then fine, so I think il go back to the drawing board on that oneI don't think I've had much sucess with seed from Italy yet, but that may have been my fault.
