They are not allowed to open on Easter Sunday

It's all to do with the size of a retail outlet

That's why all the big stores are closed as well although they will all be shut this year

We happened to pass Lidl a couple of days ago and they had a range of plants and seeds as well as compost. OK for now, I expect garden centers to be open at Easter, wishful thinking, maybe.

Oh I’m still waiting for my seeds.

You stole my cheese?!,,,,,

Eglantine21thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction our compost has arrived today where’s that blooming sunshine again

I ordered potting compost and plants/bulbs from Idealworldtv yesterday. If your DH orders make sure he chooses the option which includes a free 20L bag. I am expecting around 100 various plug plants from T&M, so was worried that I wouldn't be able to pot them on.

Not ordered meant to say order duh

Monica Amazon were asked to put my husbands money order back into the bank and they’ve replied by saying it’ll be delivered today. We’ll just have to be patient. Fingers crossed.always ask for your money to be repaid if not satisfied with any purchases off Amazon. They’ll try and get your ordered delivered as best they can

If you are shopping fr food and the same shop has compost I can think of no good reason why you should not put a couple of bags of compost into your trolley. I mean you are using it to grow healthful food for use an a month or two's time.

Elizabeth cannot go out though.

We are only supposed to go out for food, medicines, if allowed and I don't think compost comes under that category.

I am still puzzled why your DH is planting his spring bulbs just now, Elizabeth, they would be better left until the autumn.

Some supermarkets sell compost. If that helps.

Maybe!

Thank you everyone I’ve got a delivery coming from dobies.

You will be able to collect it in-store, saving the cost of delivery, although they will deliver.

My local garden centre does deliveries. Even though most of the centre has closed (not the farm shop) they have upped the list of things they will deliver. Maybe check out a few of your local ones?

I think the time for planting spring bulbs is about October so he should be able to get some compost by then.

Thank youEglantine I’ll try later on hope they'll deliver to us. Let me know how you get on

I’ve ordered seeds etc from Dobies. The order was accepted so I’m hopeful it will arrive soon.
