Wilkinsons........

100g Flower seeds, granular compost and feed





Only 20p !

 

Took the kids for a day out to fountains abbey and came home with these fuchsia hawkshead, and scabious Hama White.
Sorry kids, mam spent the ice cream money on plants.....again

 

I left the docs with plenty of time on my parking ticket so wandered up to the market , you can't go wasting parking money you know! £2.20 for an hour would you believe.
I bought 10 plants for £20, can't remember all their names but I've planted them up, I shall try to take some photos tomorrow. I've put them in my back flowerbed which up until a few weeks ago was looking great but I seem to have very little on flower at the moment, hopefully I've sorted that out now!

 

I wish Poundland would bar me...

Lysimachia Punctata

Coreopsis Sunfire

Also got these 10p from Wilkinsons. Has anyone tried these before, I was wondering what the chances were of getting Cobea Scandens, Mina Lobata and the Ipomea Cardinal Vine....

 

@Anthony Rogers, your poundland is brilliant! Ours doesn't have much in the way of plants, there's a few but they are always in such a sorry state.

 

Hi Beckie,

ours has a special plant rack outside the shop but I must admit you have to catch them in the first couple of days otherwise they do tend to get left to their own devices and suffer the consequences.

 

Bought this lovely 4ft solid bench off a guy who makes stuff out of reclaimed wood and pallets for just £10, a bit of sanding and some preservative and jobs a good un

 

Tip - leave the dead stems on until the spring to give it the best chance of survival.

Best potted up and left in the greenhouse for the winter really as it is still rather small.

 

Wilkinsons.... 2 Sanseveiria ( Mother In Laws Tongue ) 50p each






Poundland are slipping now though..... Only One today


Primula Vialii

 

I'm not buying any more plants

Oh okay, just one more - Cytisis Battandieri (Pineapple Broom) half standard.

 

Couldn't resist this for £2.99 agave not sure which one though, looks like americana

 

I knew I shouldn't have gone into Poundland today.....

Lychnis Chalcedonica



Salvia Rose Queen

 

I appear to have accidentally bought a couple more Hydrangeas for the front garden - Avantgarde and Limelight. I wanted a couple of each, but rather than buy them I'm going to take cuttings off each because they grow quickly so will be large enough to plant out next year.

 

Hydrangea 'zorro', couldn't resist because of the blue flowers and black stems and a decent price of £3.50

 

@Bilbo675 that's lovely! Great price too!
