No bother thanks I don't have any B&Q near me but if I could source them else where I would definitely try it as my door was already the anthracite grey when bought new and would save a massive amount if I could just paint the window frames

So I want to grow some seeds but don’t fancy have loads of pots or trays around my house, so thinking of getting a grow table (don’t have a big enough garden for anything else) is it ok to grow seeds in this with a cover (like a greenhouse) or is it still too cold?
