Wilko's Update

[Hans Mum]

Is Home Bargains the one on Lupton Ave that used to be Windsors?

no thats B&M i think Mally, theres a Home Bargains at Cross Gates on the outside just up from the Station Pub used to be Iceland I think & theres one in the Merrion Centre used to be Woolies

I signed up for both Lidl & Netto newsletters so get a heads up on whats coming into the stores. It's easy to do & free...................my favourite word.

I get frustrated with Lidl's, they put a flyer through my door, I get all excited about new gardening stuff due in, I turn up on the right day...and get told that what I wanted hasn't been delivered to my local store...EVERY TIME!!!!

Buy a couple of 7' tubs?

Well this winter has proved too much for my Phoenix canariensis palm. It may come back again but not in my life I think and is currently a delicate shade of beige all over. 10 years down the drain because of the British weather.

However bought a new one at Wilko's this morning for £3.

Back to the drawing board. I think Lady S. had better knit it a wooly jumper.

B&M have taken over Kwik Save @ Torre Rd. Home Bargains have taken over Kwik Save @ x-gates. I think there is now one on Lupton Ave where Windsors used to be.

Hey Jilly,

Gosh they grow big, didnt realise when I bought them

Oh well not to worry will take a while to get to that size so will grow for the first couple of years in tubs as I planned, then move to my fruit bed area once it is ready and they are more established

Some good growing info on this website
.:: Blueberries Gardening ::.

"Pollination - Most fruit trees, including blueberries have both male and female organs on the same flower, but not all are self pollinating. The best bet for blueberries is to have different varieties of blueberries within 100 feet, so bees can travel and cross pollinate. Blueberries cannot be fertilized by their own pollen!"

was in to aldi today and as we went in a bloke was going out with the last two apple trees and i must say they looked in top nick,will have to wait for next lot,none left in wilkos either,so not the best shopping trip...

[gojiberry]

Got 3 apple and a plum tree from Aldi last week, £4 each. Am going to try and grow them as cordons but as I don't know what rootstock they are on I may be strugling to keep them small.

Try Poundstretcher / Instore if you have one local.
