strawberry plugs

[Elliesmummy]

had a scoot around wilkinsons this morning,
they had strawberry plugs a pack of 4 for £1-50.

i was tempted but didnt have enough cash on me, has anyone got these and are they any good?

went in poundland too and got a blueberry 'twig' they had some strawberries plants in too packs of 2 for £1.
anyone had these?

I bought the strawberries from wilkinsons, temptation i think they were, doing well at the moment.

i cant get down until monday now but i'll see if they still have them, they didnt have many left.

got the last two packs today from wilkinsons,

potted them in those peat pots for now until they are big enough to plant out

Last summer I bought 3 packs of 6 strawbs reduced to 89p each at the co-op - and they still put through the 3 for 2 offer - so 18 strawbs for £1.79. Bargain. They fruited last year as well...whicih reminds me - the strawb bed needs sorting out this week.

Keep an eye out later in the season - you can often pick up bargains in preparation for next summer.
