    In B and q this afternoon one chap was reducing the trays of bedding plants down to £1.50, half price and 3/4 dead. The chap said that they only do half price now and after that they are dumped - I found a chap in a corner with trolley loads doing just that dumping trolley loads of reduced bedding plants into black bin bags :mad:
    What a waste - I am sure I am not the only one who would have bought a few if they were down to 50p or 75p - and also then went onto buy potting compost, pots, baskets etc
    Last year I bought quite a few of B and Q s final reduction plants and got them thriving again. They even had a basket outside with left over pots in and I rescued a few polyanthus one year, roots looked Ok Even if the tops had gone over.

    So off we then went to Morrisons where they are supposed to have 3 cottage garden perennials for a fiver - both of out stores had almost nothing left. so again we left empty handed.

    Then we went home to do some actual gardening. I got a few bags of white lillies bulbs reduced to 49p from Home Bargains a few weeks ago and I potted them up with some white geraniums and the lillies are pushing their way through already :T

    Shock horror I noticed 2 red Lilly beetle - first time I've ever seen them in real life. So I got OH to dispatch them and their eggs underneath :mad: - I've only got a few pots with lillies in so now it's another job to check them each day.
    I had a few frittilers bulbs in a tub flower earlier so maybe this is where they came from?

    Does anyone know how far they can fly. The lady 2 doors down also has a cottage garden, I've never seen any lillies but I wonder if I need to let her known. Otherwise the next nearest gardens are at least a mile away.

    So much for gardening being distressing. I think it would have been more relaxing today doing a TPP or a APG shop :D

    My b&q today had some stuff reduced to 10p a pack but there was no saving any of them :(

    They did have done lovely palm plants reduced though :whistle:

    On the other hand, homebase today had a blimmin lovely selection of plants, some reduced, some not but you could tell that their plants had been well cared for, whereas b&q just CBA with their plants.

    I left homebase with 3 terracotta pots and and olive tree for £25... The pots were a range that I thought had been discontinued last year so I grabbed them before someone else did....god bless homebase and their 15% off weekends :j
