SHOW US YOUR RECENT PURCHASES 2018

All you can keep doing like myself and others is keeping our plants can fight through this weather...the same as GC members who have Allotments and Greenhouses for we all

 

Not a bad day shopping.

Plastic riddle (approx 14” dia) £1.99
55cm plastic planter £2.99
30l John Innes No3 £3.49
2 x plastic builders buckets @ 70p each.

For a long time I have thought about cheap builders buckets but never committed. I’m often pottering about wishing I had some bigger temporary pots. Builders buckets are ideal, especially at only 70p each.

Jack , the £1 bucket ( in your case 70p ! ) are ideal planters for starting larger plants in . Lots of us use them on here . If you are using them outside as planters , make sure you drill a few holes in the bottom for drainage. Don't forget which ones have the holes in though , dear Liza

 

Bought some spuds; Sharpes express, Desiree, King Edwards and rocket. And some shallots Red sun.

Oh! And these £1.25 bad boys..

No, not for my kids.. for me! (Small hands ) They used to be sold by another brand at wilko but they look exactly the same

 

I've got a peach tree in one of my lovely orange BnQ buckets


..was only supposed to be a temporary home

 

Nice selection @"M" it's the waiting to put them in

 

I'm thinking of buying a Bosch trimmer to cut my lavender plants into balls and other plants I do shape...so I don't have to keep on with garden hedge clippers.

As anyone brought these or similar and are they any good .. as they had some in Aldi's my hubby said but a cheaper brand.

​

 

Well not sure about that small size one. BUt I bought a bosch cordless hedge trimmer last year and it has been brilliant. Battery life is pretty impressive. I love using it! he he.

If you've got a lot to be doing id go for bosch due to battery life. Also, mine has the interchangable bettery packs that i can use with other bosch power tools-handy!

 

Found a MASSIVE wilkos store in Milton Keynes today. My fav shop ha ha. Bought a nice windowsill indoor trough and matching pots for replanting my cacti Bargain £3.50 trough and £2 for the pots (all metal painted cream) bargain!

 

I did not know the huge one existed until now!!!!! Thank you... I am now plotting a visit!!!! :D :D :D

 

He he I was excited when I saw the sign. My local one is in Leighton Buzzard but it's too small.

 

@Snorky85 Thanks for the advice mate..been on amazon tonight before coming on the forum to check they're still on offer of £40...they've only upped them to £49.

When the weather warms up i'll see what Aldi's have coming in
