Bargain Wilko's Half Price Sale

25p for tomato feed, so purchased a few. Still no bulbs!

 

Wilkinsons own make seeds half price, nowt off Johnsons.
Still only about twenty sorts of bulbs.

 

In Morrison's I've just spotted Geum Koi 2 for £3. I've been looking at Mrs J Bradshaw. Are they similar enough to buy it now?

Mrs Bradshaw is Red and Koi is Orange good write up info in this link - Both lovely plants

Yes, I can see the koi is orange now I've had the chance to sit down and look at it. Originally I was looking at having both Mrs Bradshaw and Lady Strathdene. I don't have a lot of depth so I decided on just Mrs Bradshaw. I wanted a splash of red now and then spread throughout the border. I already have orange in the poker and the coreopsis. I am looking at taller yellow and/or white flowers/bushes to stand at the back. And/or a similar coloured climber along the back fence. I'm not sure if Koi is too much orange or would it be better than the red splashes of Mrs Bradshaw. Decisions,decisions

Gawd which ones that @Linz - i'll be travelling to Liverpool to find one soon

 

Emailed my local Wilko & had a phone call apologising for late stock, as there had been a 'handling error', bulbs should be in at some point next week, presuming that applies to the seed sale also

 

Wahoo everyone's winning

 

Seeds half price yesterday, sale going full swing and all the best gone, got some cuprinol pansy coloured paint for £2.50 a litre, not the best colour but okay.

 

Seeds 75% off today in my local store I've not visited in a few days, all compost, fencing/mesh and tomato food have suddenly disappeared.

No canes

xmas stuff is in

 

The Wilko I visited yesterday had separated their gardening stuff into 2 areas, one full price that I assumed would remain there that way, and the other all 50 - 75% off that I expect will be reduced further to make way for more Halloween/Xmas stock, but other, smaller stores often get rid of everything.

 

No canes in my local store for over a week, but went in today to collect an online order [1] and about 15 bundles of 2.4m 'bean' canes had re-appeared, reduced by 75% down to 75p/bundle of 10, exactly what I've been looking for. Bàmboo canes dissapearing then reappearing has happened a lot in previous years.

They'd reorganized their gardening areas yet again to make way for more Xmas stuff, everything from seed display now heaped up in a couple of plastic storage boxes.

[1] Needed some wine making ingredients that have always been OOS instore, plus there's 4.2% cashback on online orders Wilko Discount Codes, Cashback & Vouchers | TopCashback also stocked up on dog biscuits as they're £1.00 instore and were only 85p (less 4.2%) online, getting them down to 81p/pkt, £2.03/Kg (£2.93/Kg at Pets at Home). It's always worth comparing instore and online prices, but they've fixed that glitch as they must've wondered why somebody would order a year's supply of dog biscuits to collect instore. I try and save on everything I buy.
