Wilkos have a 3 for the price of 2 on selected seeds including veggie. Popped in yesterday but couldn't see any of interest as I've ordered loads of seeds online.

Country Garden garden centres are selling off fruit bushes at 50% . Goosberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Rasberry, Loganberry grapes and figs.

Worth a look for some

Wilkos for me as well. Today I bought spring onion seeds, wallflower seeds and cucumber seeds approx 25p each packet.

Also bought Rose fertiliser, bug clear and ant powder really really cheap, well worth it.

Default fruit trees at Lidls

I bought a couple of fruit trees at the Torquay branch of Lidls - Beurre Hardy pear and Jonagold apple. They also had Cox apple trees but they don't do so well here in Devon, being prone to canker. I resisted buying Stella cherry too - too many birds around the allotment and they always got to the cherries before me in my last garden.

Just been to B&Q garden centre where they have a whole load of normally £15 & more plants down to a fiver & less, Acers, Bananas, grape vines, Clematus (sp?) and loads more. Some look dead but the majority are just bare looking because its autumn. Just got a lovely acer for £5, bare of leaves but covered in tiny buds. Not sure if its country wide but may be worth having a look.

No Wyevale or Wilko's in Scotland,miss the Wilko's not Wyevale so much.Dobies are our "big chain" garden centres,but we do have some nice independent old fashioned nurseries.
