Hanging Basket Plants

[Elina]

Any good deals anywhere anyone please?

[mallyh]

last year i found some great buys at car boot sales . i was going today to look but it's chucking it down .

[Elina]

Just saw your post there mallyh. You're right, car boots are a great source for cheap plants, I'd forgotten! Manchester has a massive car boot site ( Smithfield Market) on a Sunday! Pity I couldn't go yesterday I was busy. Thanks for the suggestion, much cheaper to buy from there!

[mallyh]

ours are on a sunday but also bank holidays x

Dobbies garden centres now down to £5 each, good value too.

Got mine at Tescos, £5. A bargain I thought.

[Elina]

Thanks everyone!

Just do a bit of advertising here for my employer, Morrisons.

Summer wicker hanging baskets £10
Viola hanging baskets £5
Tray of six geraniums/petunias, summer favourites £2 each or 2 for £3
Plant of the week - Fuchsias £1.33

Everybody has been commenting on their quality and cheapness.

(Do you think I'll get a pay rise for this?) :-))

[Elina]

Thanks Captain for taking the time to type that out! Sounds very reasonable!

Hi Captain I must fully endorse your advert,I have been buying bedding plants etc in Morrisons for several years now and have had no failures so far excellent value.

I have found Morrisons very good for trailing lobelia, trailing geraniums and many others. I bought some of mine at 2 trays for £3 and others at £2/3 per tray. Great selection if you're near a Morrisons

[Captain2]

Elina - don't know which side of Manchester you are but Stockport market on Fridays and Saturdays is very good for plants (it's also on on a Tuesday but don't know if the plantmen stand then).

[vakayu]

The last three posters should qualify for discount vouchers from Morrisons now lol.

You should do, c'apn and a bonus.

[Captain2]

vakayu - I'll put in a good word for them. :-)

[Captain2]

Tony - I'm sick of the sight of them now - just want to get rid of them as fast as possible!

[Elina]

North Captain. I must try give it a visit thanks!

[tonyav]

Captain, is yourself that as to keep them watered ?.

[Captain2]

Tony - sorry got distracted. Yes I put them out, water them, sort them, arrange them, re-sort them after Joe Public's been at them - heartily sick of them!

Elina - I'm originally from Radcliffe - are you that way about?

[Elina]

No not Radcliffe Captain.
