Stopped Richard! you lucky s*d, i have now traded in the car for a yacht to get to work, took up fish farming instead of trying to grow veggies, and traded in my rotovator for an aqualung  ;D ;D ;D .

Oz I went to B Q last week and i could have wept .there were so many dying plants and flowers,i asked the assistant if somebody could water them and his reply was NAA nobody wants to work out ere! its boring, what do you reply to that answer.
So i went to customer service and said nearly all your plants are dying out there could someone water them her reply was no somebody will be putting them all in a skip tomorrow!!!!!!.we have got so many and not enough staff to send anyone out there.

Needless to say i shall never buy another plant at B Q.
I still feel i should write to there head office ,shall i  ??????.
 What a place eh!! why do they sell them if they cannot look after them.    I had better get off my soapbox now.
   see ya Rooooooooosiebuuuuuuuuudie :-* :-*

Rosebud - it's exactly the same at my local B&Q. They had a masive sale with 25% off all plants. So I excitedly went along. Only to find out why they are having to sell them off quick... I rescued a couple of things that didn't look bad. I felt like I should report them to the RSPCP (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants).  :'(

I've stopped buying plants from there because of this and they are too expensive and they use peat.
gone to pot :D

You shouldve said 'well if they are going in a skip any way let me have some' (cheap/free). Then you could've used your green fingers and revived them and sold them on for charity (those you didnt want yourself). Boo sucks to B&Q!

All the plants probably want is a good soaking and be fine. What dreadfull waste!

Oz, I've tried to explain you to people - "outsiders" you know - but words can not suffice!!  You do me a power of good anyway as well as the plants, guess that's not people dust gathering  around my p.c. it must me Oz Dust filtering out and spreading good feelings and smiles.   ;):D

Lottie like a bog yesterday, felt such an idiot running back and fore from the tap to the g'hosue carrying cans of water and trying to hold up a brolly with the rain pounding - just to top up those greedy toms.  Dried up today and everything (especially those weeds) putting on massive growth.  Rain forecast for tomorrow I think - please nooooo .....

 Richard it was pitiful to see the plants just left to die,because of a want of a drink...............I did ask last time for reduced plants that were just left to die and i got a resounding no so i dident ask this time.  I will not shop there for plants again...........
What i have decided to do is take my camera down there and send some photos to the head office and see what they think ,i am still so cross about it............Rosebud. >:(

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I personaly have a love/hate relationship with B&Q over plants.

Generaly i have avoided shopping there for plants (i have nearer garden centres which are better if a bit pricey). What I have grown from there I have had mixed results with.  Firstly when planting up a new shrub border i wanted a Viburnum tinus, and found one at B&Q which i bought and planted over a year ago. The plant at first seemed healthy and vigourous. Then we had theat long dry summer last year and whils the plant was watered, it has noe trived and is now the same size as when i bought it and not looking as happy. V. tinus i thought were supposed to be bomb proof shrubs and of course i cannot prove any thing, but the fact that it camer from B&Q does not help. On a different note we were given a rose a few months ago, bought from B&Q. This has thrived and has begun to flower already. My only criticism is that the checkout staff removed the label so i dont know what variety it is! Pink and highly double is all i know about it.

The point is you CAN get good plants from there but you can also get duff ones as well.  Overall though i prefer to go elsewhere for plants. For other garden products though they are pretty good value it think.

At least in this weather the B&Q plants will be getting a drink of sorts!
