    I found a load of strawberries in 5" pots reduced from £1.99 down to 25p each so bought all 18 of them, 4 Sonata, 6 Elsanta and 8 Cambridge Favourite

      I've already got about 100 strawberry plants that have been producing this year + another 150 in pots that didn't sell at car boots (sold another 150) + I'll be rooting more runners, but now I have some named varieties as I've now idea whatsoever what my existing plants are, and I can't resist a bargain.

      P.S. I do rather like strawberries!

                  Today I really had to get out of that place , really great plant all sold for peanuts , 10 feet bamboo at £15 or 2 £25 , the climber section , was going from passiflora alata/pink/banana pink/white/blue , 5 different wisteria , 5 different jasmine an so on all for £3.50 each and the most upsetting of all , 4/5 feet musa at £5 , red banana at £2 , 5 feet durham and pretoriana cannas at £3.50 , 6 feet dicksonia was £100 up to a 8 feet (no exsageration) at £200 and the sale is off tmw.
                  Still didn`t say anything to my miss , I really hope that she will belive that the palm fairy has made my little chamaerops become a big chamaerops as I was pray for :whistle:
                  many more of this palm for sale , if anyone live around bedfordshire.
