I was in Lidl this afternoon and I over heard a man ask an assistant if the wilting plants are sold off cheap? He was told No they just 'Bin them', hmm maybe he should check the bins then ..
B&Q have a Dead trolley, never bought anything much off it... I noticed Aldis plants look pretty sad at times, when I suggested they should water the plants they said ' they are not allowed to water them, for health & safety reasons..'.. Crazy justcrazy..
shame they closed my local B&Q as i used to pop in most weekends
now its very rare i go the extra distance to have a look, there loss then, shop was doing quite well
albeit the wife tells me i need to stop as we have too many plants now and i seem to have had a mid life crisis the last 3 years and turned into a gardener
she is the hayfever sufferer and looks after the house, the garden is mine
i have taken many cuttings from this rented house and even 2 large airlayers from a 50year old apple tree. built a 10ft squared rockery and gained more bonsai trees
i have gained a lot and lost a few things but doing well but i still like to shop and learn what works for me.
its all collecting for when i can finally buy a house... when im 50 no doubt
bargains are the future i have some good looking trees with potential to be nice bonsai in a few years... less than a fiver bought
My mum, sister and, nephew came over yesterday and brought us an orange Gerbera. I am in the middle of making a new border that receives more sunlight hours than the other border I have. Got a few plants to put in there and the Gerbera is one of them. Good bargains there aym...A Penstemon for £2.45. Can't go wrong there.

50p from b&q 2 years ago for a lily, end of season died off no idea what it would be like
following early summers its full of large flowers in bright orange
a bargain
i normally looking old hald dead and mangled small trees, good potential bonsai
oh shame, yes i grab a few acer albeit my garden kills them in many spots, some are surviving though
Got these small pots for 50 each from b&q on Saturday
And these (hopefully recoverable!) Lobelia for 90p from Homebase on Sunday.
Going to put the whole lot into a large pot and see what happens! Oh...The slug tape was a fiver!! Bah!
If anyone wants a trip outside and lives in Worksop area your B&Q have some fine plants and vegetables on the reduced shelves.
And greenhouses reduced too.
i think my lilly will split easily this year, its filled the pot and either needs much bigger or split into 2, ill try and do a photo later

Michael, I wonder who would pay the original £7 for a tray of lobelia!
I've noticed that homebase plants are ridiculously expensive. No wonder there's often rich pickings in the sin bin!
Our lidls tends to get its new stuff on a Thursday so that's a good day to get live plants.
