Seed sales and all round good offers.

If you're buying cheap seeds (or any seeds), remember the Seed Swap Pass the Seed Parcel.
You can divide up your seeds into separate packets, and give some away (you always get more seeds in a pack than you need anyway).

I've just filled 2 Jiffy bags with unwanted seeds to give away to other Grapes ... amazing. I'm already getting some good stuff back, for free or cost-of-a-stamp

Managed to get down to Wyvale at Pyle yesterday as I know they usually have a lot of the 50p seeds each year. According to the staff I was a few weeks late as the flowers and veg had been reduced to one big bin, still a huge amount of seeds available and I managed to sort out 20 packets. I always find that they always have plenty of seeds of what you have but I never seem to be able to fill the gaps. I was hoping for onion and red cabbage seeds but got neither.

I bought loads of seeds at my local B&M at the beginning of the year. 19 pence for a packet of seeds-can't beat that really. They're clearing out flower and veggie seeds at the moment (if anyone has a B&M near them).

I ended up buying a variety of radishes, lettuces and other delectable treats.

Did get a few seeds for next year at our local Garden centre in August - but if get chance will check out Wyevale near us.....

There is a buy one get one free offer BOGOF at the Range near us on bulbs etc. Sneakily hidden amongst them were onions and garlic to go in now. Good value.

Wilkos have a 3 for the price of 2 on selected seeds including veggie. Popped in yesterday but couldn't see any of interest as I've ordered loads of seeds online.

Also bought Rose fertiliser, bug clear and ant powder really really cheap, well worth it.

fruit trees at Lidls

I bought a couple of fruit trees at the Torquay branch of Lidls - Beurre Hardy pear and Jonagold apple. They also had Cox apple trees but they don't do so well here in Devon, being prone to canker. I resisted buying Stella cherry too - too many birds around the allotment and they always got to the cherries before me in my last garden.

Just been to B&Q garden centre where they have a whole load of normally £15 & more plants down to a fiver & less, Acers, Bananas, grape vines, Clematus (sp?) and loads more. Some look dead but the majority are just bare looking because its autumn. Just got a lovely acer for £5, bare of leaves but covered in tiny buds. Not sure if its country wide but may be worth having a look.

I don't have a Wyevale's...<sniff>

We don't have a Woollies big enough to sell gardening stuff either..<sniffs again>

I feel deprived.....
