Aldi will be having their windowsill greenhouses in on Thurs 19th Feb.
At £2-13 they are a bargain. Got some last year and am definitely going to get some more. The plugs in them are just the right size.

Just been to Aldi and they have the following trees for sale:

Apple: Elstar, Jonagold, Cox's Orange Pippin, Golden Delicious plus more varieties

Also Conference Pear

Very reasonably priced at £4.18 each. This is just a small selection and they had more.

If anyone hasn't got an Aldi nearby, but has a Poundstretcher, I saw the windowsill propagators there today for £2.49. Was tempted but they seemed a bit flimsy and I've got enough pots!

Another Bramley, a Jonagold and a Granny Smith to pollinate them........£12.54 well spent, I tell myself.   ;D



Oh, and 2 packets of geranium seeds - was a bit surprised that they have 5 seeds per pack!  :o

Peach & Nectarine.

Both bought last year, you should not let them bear fruit it seems the first year and both are looking Very healthy this year, they grew well last, tiny buds on them, so ever hopeful.
