we gor 23 free from asda last week, they just throw theirs away  :o :o

I'm trying them for the first time this year. I started them off in the propagator, and moved them out yesterday when they poked their heads up. Here's hoping for a good crop in blustery S. Wales.

Thanks MrsKP that is a really good idea!

So I just go to my local asda and ask them if they have any flower buckets they want rid of?

You lot are so resourceful - and very environmentally friendly ;D

[MrsKP]

not at all, we're just tight !   :P

when we were all on the "hunt the black bucket" phase you really had to dig about for them, trap a kindly salesman and force it out of him where they were kept !

ASDA might be more customer friendly, but you still might have to ask.  Lishka failed miserably at her Morrisons attempts and ended up at the Co-op!  8).  it was a bit of a quest to see how many buckets we could find (even if we didn't actually need 185 of them) lol

if you've got the front, just ask, and if you haven't, pluck up the courage ! 

 ;D

Sorry i think i missed all the fun with the buckets, whats the big deal, other than being free ?  ;)

[MrsKP]

you were too busy tearing up your lawn at the time  :P

ain't "free" enough ??  ;D

Chris the 'fun' was...and something that KP's omitting to tell you :-\..last year the big shout went up that these black buckets could be bought for x each from Morries.....and then the bragging began, each out-doing the other on how many they had got for an ever-decreasing amount...and my Morries didn't even have them :'( And my 'friends' here didn't arf rub it in...

But then I discovered the Co-Op, where I was given all my buckets for FREE

And how I laughed  8)

and the rumour that was then started that the Co-Op black buckets self-destructed after 3 weeks was a spurious lie born out of sheer envy....

 ;D
