Hi aym You have some fantastic bargains there and they don't even look sickly or dried up. You couldn't even buy the the ceramic pot for 50p, let alone planted up. Well done, you are a star bargain hunter ?
I've stopped buying plants now (need to organise the ones I already have first ) but I've picked up a few accessories in the sales.
Bargain wise I've been trying to think ahead for next year. I've bought a new kneeling pad 75p, a miracle gro hose thing that you fill with lawn/plant food for watering half price £4, 3 pairs of gloves for 50p, a soil tester for £2 (yet to see if it works) and a new pair of garden clogs for £3.50.
The pink ones in my avatar pic got buried in the shed at the end of 2015 and this years black pair are worn through and have big holes in the soles.

There isn't a WyeVale near us Aym. Just Homebase...B&Q....Wilko. If there was I'd have been looking for Echinacea White Swan!!!
B3...Yours sounds like good advice to me.

Aym - you need to post a pic of your garden as I keep wondering where put all these plants. . .
Aym, I live in Houghton Le Spring, between Durham and Sunderland...turns out there are Home Bargains everywhere, I've just never noticed
I have ruffled swan. It's alright...I really liked wild swan but after a couple of years it just sort of melted
It's a blue scabious, I don't remember it's name but I think Clive Greaves (?) is similar...
Where I live is varyingly north of those places above

Ha, LB's thrown in a tricky one and I'm stumped

All from wilko aym, I'll stick a photo on tomorrow, too dark now. ?
Here's a photo of the wilkos stuff
Plus two hoses reduced to £3 from asda, (can't beat Hosta's £1.50 hoses from last year though)
Absolutely smashed it in Wyevale last week (I know some people hate it but a bargain is a bargain):
Callicarpa Profusion (£3 from £20), complete with berries.
Jacobs Ladder (£3 from £8)
Fuchsia [Alice Hoffman] (£4 from £9) x2
Fuchsia [Completely forgotten the name now, tiny red flowers, silver foliage) (£4)
Also got a Dahlia in full bloom, small Bay for my patio but had to pay full price for a Hebe.
3 bags of sand at £1 each and a £30 gift card meant I only paid £3 of my own money. Winning.
Can't see anything aym. What's the pink bit supposed to show?
Have you had a mega bargain shopping trip?
