Garden Bargains
We went to the Garden Center today and picked up some bargains
The most expensive was this cyclamin which cost £2.50 but I'm not bothered about that. I have always wanted to have cyclamin growing under the tree and it will look lovely around the apple tree.
I have always loved primulas and this white one looks a lot better in reality than in the photo. I have 2 in the back garden which were from my mum's grave when we had a little garden for her but the church made us take it apart.
I love this purple one as well although it again looks better in the flesh LOL.
This is a viola which, with the primulas will go in the front garden. I may even split this one to get a few plants out of it as it is rather big. I can see this in the garden. They are good growers and don't have any problems with soil. My main problem is going to be the dreaded SLUG!!!!!!!!
Have you found any garden bargain just recently?

I got very disheartened last year with gardening, the rains kept washing everything away over and over.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel like trying again this year, but I expect I will get into it when the weather improves.
I'm looking forward to next month when I will sow my broad beans and then in March, the sprouts. I have a raised platform where I am going to put my veggies grown in pots x
