What Can U Get For A Tenner?

[julesapple]

Was that Chavda, VC? Hope there's some Paperwhites & Amaryllis left tomorrow when I go to get the groceries.

You didn't see any Snake's Head Fritillaria, did you? I want some for my tubs.

[Bigmallly]

Pretend you didn't hear me - or shall I delete my post.............

No, it's ok. I'll just have to surprise me with something else............

[veggiechicken]

Yep - Asbo!! By the time I left, all that was left were the Paperwhites (and I don't mean that I bought them all either - 2 trolleyloads went in minutes!! No Fritillaries.

4 Amarylllis
2 x 3 Paperwhite Narcissi
3 x100 Spring bulbs
16 Alliums
2 baskets of house plants
Mine's a bit of a cheat as they were sale things - but you paid full price

Nah, I wus in Asbo The baskets were £1.60 each - I'll put a few spring bulbs in the spaces left by the dead chrysanths

I don't need tempting. Had to be peeled away from the Poundland roses that I had my heart set on.

Same here!!
Probably just as well as I'm skint!

[Marcher]

I bought some growmore, 2 hostas, tomato feed, red hot poker, pea and bean seeds, lettuce seeds + propagator, sweet peas + propagator and a few other things from there.

BTW, Aldi are selling fruit trees again from Thurs 7th -

Pears: William bon chrieten, Conference
Plums: Victoria
Apples: Cox, Braeburn, Gala, Bramley
Raspberry: "Long cane" (generic then)
Apricot: "Early" (again, sounds generic but may be New Large Early - or just any early variety)
Peaches: Red Haven

I've never seen peaches or apricots there, I'm going to try and get a the Red haven peach and grow it against a wall. I've never seen peach or apricot trees bare root for £4 for that matter (all the trees are £4). There's also a Calamondin in shown in the leaflet, but it doesn't appear to be actually offered despite my initial hopes of getting one for 4 quid.

[Mikey]

Well quite embarrassingly for £10, I could get very very drunk....hic.

I could probably achieve it without even spending a penny.

Anyway, noticed tesco's had a good choice of seeds for 99p each in passing today, handy for the odd thing you can't elsewhere. (lidl)

[Bigmallly]

Marcher - I bought a Red Haven from Aldi last year. It's healthy but has not fruited yet. Snadger also bought one but I think his was the year before, he had a post going at one time but seemed to drop off. It may have been me that dropped off........
