[threepeas]

hi

We went to poundland today and they had loads of gardening items from pots,hand tools, gloves,bulbs and also big bags of onion sets and potatos. all for a £1 ( if you did not guess!!!!)

Worth a look if you have one near you.

Wow! I have just looked on their website and they have loads so definitely going to visit tomorrow

Hope it is OK to put their website link in here:

Tidy Up & Get Planting | Poundland

If you go to the planting guides section they have a load of PDF files you can download for free (probably only useful to complete novices like me though )

Does anyone know if their blueberry bushes would be OK? For £1 it seems too good to be true?

You may need 2 of same type for pollination as I think they work better in pairs. Check size they grow to as some can get quite big. I only bought one last year and got 2 berries It's a dwarf variety so is in a pot and don't forget to use ericaceous compost not multi purpose.

Off to Poundland tomorrow, thanks for the heads up!

Regularly pop into poundland . Good for plant pots etc. Cheaper than Wilkinsons.

If you only want 10 you need to sow more seeds!
