    bought 5 diferent varieties of strawberriy plants for £1 each and they have already sprouted 7 new plants .
    5 chicks and a duckling that I hatched from our eggs(and they have been adopted by 2 hens so no need to use electric brooder).

    I also found some wool in the wardrobe I thought I had given away. :) Good, as I do plan to do some more crocheting.

    At my local garden centre Lavender plants for 99p each where £3.49 each bought 4 :o

    Some black flower buckets from morrions for 99p for 8.

    Some apple mint from B & Q for 49p and 5 cabbage plants for 50p. Cost nothing as I had gift card from a survey site.

    And I need to get rid of some rubble and old petrol lawn mower asked my dad if need it for anything and he said yes :j

    And thanks to my gardener (don't I sound posh :rotfl:) it is starting to look a little bit more respectable.

    Yours

    I didnt get a frugal find today, but am still picking those ruddy radishes (some of you may remember my OH sowed the WHOLE packet in one go and I still havent worked out what to do with the excess - family and friends are sick of them now!!)!
    So, I picked todays crop and bunched them up and put them on front garden wall with a notice inviting people to help themselves after giving a couple of bunches to elderly neighbours with a fondness for them (I am sick of radish myself now).
    I figure thats my good deed for the day!!!
