    No, no water butts.
    I got the hibiscus I wanted, and a deutzia, plus some lily and aquilegia bulbs. Also OH got some wellies, they're only £5.99 and when you have a dog you need them all the time.
    It all looked really good, and it was just as well we went early as it was all going fast. By 10am there was just 1 apple tree left, they'd only been sent 1 box of fruit trees.

    Thank for posting op.

    @ Lotus-eater, I was viewing this with my three-year-old and she gasped at your semi-pornographic avatar :(

    Heads up: the hibiscus @ £3.99 we already knew about.

    Today I went back to Lidl and noticed they have similar size hiscus in the ornamental boxed plants bit - £1.50 each or 4 for £5.

    Thanks op went yesterday and got small polytunnel (had to go to go to 2 shops in the end - got to first 1 at 8.10 and most of good stuff gone, lots of people with trolleys full of what i wanted thought i was going to miss out - went to other one other side of city who had loads, but didnt have the blueberry plants i wanted. Got home and wished i had got a couple more polytunnels as they were so good value. Went back today and they still had plenty left and couldnt believe went i walked in guy had just filled 4 large shelves of blueberries, rasp etc. so glad i went back.

    Peacelily - not sure if they are a good price as i bought mine years ago, but aldi website shows waterbutts will be in stock from sunday 6th £24.99 210 litre.

    Hiya Just to say I saw a cheap water butt in Wilkinsons. I think it was 13.99 and the base a bit more. It was a tall slim one. :D
    Always on the hunt for a bargain.

    Still lots of bargains out there, UK people don't understand the labels.

    Well they should all have ancient copies of 'the Shrub expert' and 'the flower expert' etc, shouldn't they:D
    That's how I knew the deutzia would be ok in semi-shade;)
