the reclaimed westmorland stone for my rockery was my bargain of the spring.

Lovely daff though.

With the encouragement of GoY members, I bought a Viburnum Tinus 'Eve Price' which has now been flowering for over two months and shows no sign of stopping. So, thankyou!

My best buy recently was a long handled three tined cultivator. I've long used a dutch hoe and still will for taking the tops off weeds but the 3 tined cultivator is superb for breaking up the soil . I reckon it is at least 3 times faster than a hoe.

I've just done the whole of the borders of my own garden in about 15 minutes and I have a border surrounding my lawn varying in width between 4 and 10 feet which must be at least 80 feet long

( Google long handle three tined cultivator) They 're available from about £5 including postage! or a good make will cost you about £12-18

My best buy recently was 2 primulas....Miss Indigo and Don Keefe. 1 plant of each and I managed to get 5 plants from each pot! They are all coming along nicely and all putting on new leaves and flowers :)

My best buy fairly recently was a wire brush and a pole to attach it to. I do a little at a time to keep the weeds from crevices in between garden pavings. I'll be busy after this rain, after weeks of dryness. I'v just found I can buy spares to screw on when it wears out. I got brush and pole 1/2 price.

I bought three plants of primula 'Woodland Walk' from the "almost dead plants" section of a Garden Centre twelve months ago. They were 50p each. They started flowering last September and are still going strong.

An interesting variety of answers. Thanks everyone
