Title: Just been down to Wyevale

Where they're selling fully grown, and fully blighted, tomato plants at £4.99 each!  :o

Naturally, I didn't get close enough to check the variety (mine are blight-free so far).

And plastic 7.5 litre watering cans at £24.99...

Bl***y rip off merchants they are...grumble......mutter..etc......>:(

I was at my local Wyevale last Saturday, and I have to say that the quality of their plants was rubbish.
loads had outgrown their pots and looked really shabby with weeds growing in their pots,were in desperate need of a drink and a bit of pruning and general attention :(
the indoors section, however, was fully stocked with scented candles and ornaments ::)
mind you, most 'garden centres' are the same these days. I guess if you want quality plants you really need to go to a nursery...

can't believe they were selling blighted toms though, that really takes the biscuit!!!
