          Kristen , I`m afraid but most of the nice plants have now gone , I was after the 2 meters palms at £150 , dicksonia antartica all gone , they even have some big japanese maples ....
          My secret place is not as secret anymore and I start to think that loads of gardners are buy the big plants for future customers .......over all I would still suggest to go and have a look .

            Today's buys are -

            Fuchsia 'Alice Hoffman' 1ltr pot @ £2.99
            Rudbeckia sullivantii 'Goldsturm' 1 ltr pot @ £2.99
            Fine Watering can rose @ £3.89

            less 10% membership discount total spend = £8.52

            The Rudbeckia has been planted out straight away as its roots were bursting through the bottom of the pot. The fuchsia will be planted out after I take a few cuttings :whistle:

              A couple of minutes with the drill and I have a perfectly good very large pot for twelve and a half pence!

                That's a great bargain Keith...:dbgrtmb:
                Wish my Morrisons was nearer but at 10 miles, it's not worth a trip only to find there aren't any,

                    Wyevales are going 5 bags of compost for £16 ... I bought 30 x 56L multi purpose (Arthur Bowers, which I get on OK with)

                    Unloaded it (from the car boot) over the garden fence to make it easier to get to the shed ... by the time I had parked the car the Puppy had ripped open a couple of bags :hate-shocked:

                    No sign of their 50p-a-packet seed sale yet ... next weekend probably.
