All looks great Jacque. I think us 3 like a bargain, lol. My Mum says there are some cracking plants at car boot sales, really cheap. Some of the prices at garden centres are unbelievable arent they.

O my goodeness Dawn your not rong there :/ its unreal what some charge4 their plants ect ! I just walk away & wont pay it :)

I know, we think the same when we walk round. When you see common, perennials that grow like weeds are being sold for a fiver its daylight robbery, oh dear, hark at me, I sound like an old scrooge. lol

Jane: On another note - what was the name of that plant we spoke about a couple of months ago - low growing, like moss?? Do you remember?

30 Apr, 2009

Well done Jacque. Great bargains. I bought some plants from Aldi today. Clematis Warsaw Nike for £1-89, 10 Busy Lizzie, 10 Upright Lobellia and 10 French Marigolds at £1-69 and 6 Trailing Lobellia for £2-49. The trailing lobellia were larger and in three inch pots. Bit cheaper than the nurseries.

Aldi are great for buying Clematis from i brought 4 last yr & theyv come back even better this yr Toto :) Your other Buys sound good 2:) My Up-rite lobelia i brought from Wilksons as Plug Plants 24 for £2.50 but u had to buy 2 packs to get this deal ! or theyd of been £3 a pack :/

30 Apr, 2009

 

Good deal then.
Morrisons were the best for clematis this year as theirs were £1-79 each and they had quite a good selection.
