I think I would plant them up into pots and put them somewhere sheltered outside. I would worry about drying out and/or mould leaving them in the fridge! Hope this is of some help.

Good advice from Hortaddict there. Just as an aside, if you are keen on plants and know the basics, you know more than the majority of people who would want your services.

Hi, I do think it is possible to self study this course but I would recommend that the practical part needs to be college based. Some colleges do weekend courses to prepare you for what the examiners are looking for. Get yourself the reading list for the course before you buy any more books, the one you've bought is great but you may need something a little more indepth. Hope this helps.

If you did, it would take up far more room than a fully grown tree! You would have to walk around it, whereas if you raised the canopy as it grows, it only takes up airspace. You could then selectively

Hi. I think the blue flower could possibly be a form of Linum. Although the white center is tricky! A difficult one!

Many thanks for the replies. I'll check out that company kaydee. The trays I'm looking for aren't on ebay, perhaps they are just too old fashioned! You could use them year after year, the plastic was so robust that you could poke a pen in the holes to release the plants without damaging the tray. I might be looking for something that doesn't exist anymore but thanks for the suggestions.
