Allotments 4 All

They had fruit bushes, seed potatoes, onion sets and shallots in today, plus the seeds on BOGOF.

I went there and to Netto with £20 in my paw and have come away with;

44 packets of seed
2 variety packs, one with 6 types of tomato, the other 6 herbs
7.5kg seed potatoes (Nicola, Desiree and Rocket)
2 onion sets, 100 in each
3 bulbs garlic

plus change for a cup of tea  ;D

Might have to go back for a couple of fruit trees!

They are all standars varieties, nothing exotic, but ok for a beginner, right?

Thanks LauraB have just got in from work will have a cuppa then on my way - called into Netto this morning and spent £3.80 so still have some house keeping left to spend just do not tell the OH :-X

Guess who else went to Wilkies this morning. I got a big bag of pentland javelin and got my Tony 3 packs of dahlia's cos I love them and he likes to grow them. lol. I've just sent him down to the greenhouse for some trays to put the spuds in to chit. I'm getting so excited. ::)

Today, see that our Wilko's has loads of plastic greenhouses :-\.....anyone risking buying them again?  ;D

What fruit do they have this year?

actually liska mine has survived this time! one that i bought in the summer collapsed because it was one of those tomato greenhouse that acted like a big sail in the wind. i then bought a 4 level greenhouse and it's wonderful. i did have a put a big rock on of the bottom shelf though just to be on the safe side. and through all these windy days we've had, it's survived.

MT, they have more or less the same as last year in my branch:
strawbs (multipack), rasps, currants, gooseberry, mini (i.e. patio) apples and pears, grapes, kiwi, citrus fruits, etc, etc; also asparagus crowns (packs of 3 for £2) and artichokes (same), and so on.

No greenhouses yet, but plenty of pots, planters and suchlike.

Ours had wheelbarrows in today  :o ! I was sorely tempted as we do need one, but didn't think i'd manage it on the train home after work ...  :-\ x

Go for it Kitten you've got to get a smile from some of them grumpy commuters.    ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*

and you would get a seat - well if you sit in the barrow!
