Went to here http://www.thegardeningwebsite.co.uk/lady-helen-nurseries-i2131.html in Dundonald by Cardenden on Sunday and the nice guy was selling off his bedding plants for a pound a tray. Very good quality as well. Amongst others, we got some Gazania. 4 lovely plants in the tray.

 

Bilbo, went to Morrisons in Weymouth for some holiday essentials and came out with a green Ensete, perfect condition and and good value £5. they only had three and this was the best like yours about 24" in the pot, now in a large pot so it won't dry out while we are away.

We went into Wilkos today and my wife saw a cushion (not gardening related I know ) that she liked on the sale shelf but it had no price on it, it looked a quality one, so she took it to the till to ask when we paid for our other shopping and the cashier asked if there were anymore, there wasn't it was the last one, no code on it etc, so she said take it for free!!!!!!, Happy Days

 

Went to our local nursery to choose a suitable soil for my wallflower seedlings. The John Innes No.2 looked perfect but they only had an open bag left (they display an open bag at the front of every compost on sale), so I asked a staff member in they had any more in store. She looked,said "no, sorry - but you can have that one 1/2 price".
YAY!! £2 It really is lovely stuff,
