Deals on plants!
Hey guys, forgive me if this had been fine before, but I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where everyone could shareasily deals that they have found online or in store so that we can all have or gardens and planters full, as well as our wallets!
I'll start off with 300 bulbs from a T&M email I received today:

Morrisons have got really healthy looking Hellebores for £3 each, and small(ish) evergreen shrubs for £2 each.
I only had chance to have a quick look, but yes, I think they were all white.
Alot of our know wiljo has some good deals in at the moment, but it's worth checking back. This week my local store added a bunch of different climbers at cheap prices - I can't really remember the exact price but I think it was around £5 maybe? Possibly cheaper. They had honeysuckle, clematis and passion flowers amongst others. I'm going to go back and get some!
Somebody had to take one for the team, eh?
Not a plant deal but I picked up one of those plastic grow houses from my local Wyevale for £25 - 50% off. Cheaper than a smaller one which is £30!

My local Lidl have seeds in tomorrow
Does anyone remember when the bareroot perennials come in to aldi and lidl? Hoping to try a few this year
I've had great success with seeds from Wilko , but I've not tried Lidl's. Has anyone any experience of them?
i just ordered 12 couble ellen hellebores plus 3niger praecox free for £19.50 + £4.95 p&p, b7q have little pots of 3 snowdrops for £1 I often buy plants from morrisons, got a clematis last year that looked so half dead they let me have it for I think 50p? it's growing happily in a deep pot, I know it won't be garden reday til next year but at that pric e I couldn't leave it, I usually get aubretia from there too at £1 though I never have much luck with it reflowering the next year, maybe they don't like our clay soil, I'm going to try to plant some in the wall this year with just a handful of griity /sandy compost
Aym: I love porridge oats! Can't seen to get the birds in my garden yet though
Nick: That looks a good deal! I bought a large hexagonal one at the end of the growing season last year from BnM for £8 and it was great! Yours looks to be a lot sturdier though! Honestly in not sure if nine will last to next year.
Perki/hostafan/jaffa: I tried a few of the seeds last year and they went well-ish. I got some mixes that started to sprout on the front garden, when my neighbour's mother decided to help by spraying weedkiller on them when she was weedkillers his overgrown lawn. They died. I also got some mixed squash seeds that I forgot about and grew too late so they grew but I only got one fruit before the frost killed them off. It was my first growing year and I was young and naive
I didn't know Lidl did bare-roots! I dint think I saw any last year so I'll keep a look out.
Rosemummy: I nearly bought that same hellebore deal from hayloft (I think) But decided I best wait until I've put all my other plants in and see where to put them as I'm not sure where to put them in relation to other plants. I did buy two helleborus Niger from Lidl though, haha! The double Ellen ones look gorgeous! Definitely need them in my collection. I need to arrange a trip to B&Q for some cheap snowdrops!
