Car boot bargain

Now most of you may know I do so love going to car boots in fact I got a really good bargain for the garden/ allotment this pass Sunday a huge roll of plastic replacement polythene purposely made for greenhouse use and for the bargain price of £2. Oh happy days!:thumb:

Now all I need is for Bob to build me some cold frames or maybe even a greenhouse for the allotment what do you think my chances are?:confused:

So come on guys tell us all your garden bargains from car boot sales I'm sure you must have some. Hel.xxx.

 

Hi Hel, I haven't been to a boot sale for a long time, but ive bought alsorts of gardening stuff in the past, lots of plants, my box balls were 50p, they weren't that size of course ive trained them into that shape, and take cuttings myself now, Hostas for £1.00, gardening books, pots, Alsorts for my garden..I should start going again but im usually hungover on Sundays,

 

I'll have to try and get along to one to look for plants ...

 

Oooooh ... A car booting thread.

Good find Hel! :D

I've never bought any gardening hardware from car boots but do buy a lot of plants from them. My latest is Crocosmia Lucifer ...



My neighbour has a wonderful display of these and i've always liked them. I bought 3 pots containing 4 plants for £1 each. I also bought another 3 pots of orange flowering Crocosmia. (not sure of the cultivar) I also got a Lysimachia Punctata that i've been wanting for ages for £1.50.

I'll not bore you all with my latest Lego and Playmobil finds. :D

Bread making machine for £4.

Oop's...nowt to do with gardening is it......:confused:

 

Best buy was my Hibiscus - 10p would you believe!

 

I want that Hibiscus, Clematis. Its beautifull, That has to be the Best Carboot Find (SO FAR) Has anyone done Better :p ...

 

10p thats unreal i would have had to try and knock em down 2p just for the cheek...thats some bargain:thumb:

 

I was lucky that I recognised what it was and the seller had no idea. Keep looking for another one but can't seem to find one (at that price) - I wonder why!

 

He's not kidding Clematis,:thumb: :D

 

Clematis that's a beauty what a bargain.

 

Love the crocosmia Lucifer Ant I will have to keep my eyes open for some of them as I'm sure they will look stunning among the jungly plants as my more common orange crocosmia does so fit in well and the Lucifer are much bigger than the orange types aren't they?

Clematis I must admit defeat 10p is an amazing bargain I'm afraid I never admit to the seller what an item may be before I've handed over the cash and done the deal otherwise the price might go up but I will always pay a little bit more than the asking price if it's a child who is doing the selling....aren't I sweet? :D Hel.xxx.

 

Cobwebs in your wallet?

 

Thanks Hel.

Yup, the Lucifer are bigger. A little over 1 foot taller.

Clematis. 10p is a fantastic bargain. Nice find! :D
