Garden bargains

You can but try, even if they don’t flower they will put up green growth and feed the bulb for next year.
My bargain was a bag of red onion sets, 5p in Wilkos. Very few were dried, but lots sprouting. They’re all doing well now.

That was a good buy j52. What will you do with the harvest?
I'm thinking of putting these Lilies on family graves.

I got 48 lilies from Thompson and Morgan for 2 quid. They do already have shoots and roots and and may not flower this year as J52 says but still worth a punt.

Not that I'm a cheapskate of course 😉

Take a photo of them later on FlexibleFriend and show us the results.
I'll show you mine if you show me yours!🤣

I bought some Lilies when I went to Hampton Court Flowers show, which is every July.
The guy that sold them to me, said just plant they won't take long to pop up. He was right, brilliant.
So any Bargains grab them.

If the onions do well, they’ll store or can be prepared and frozen.

I bought some plants online cheaply (£1.99 for a 9cm pot) from The Secret Gardening Club. They took an age to arrive. A good 6 weeks. The plants were ok (hopefully better next year) but I won't be using them again.

If you have a B and Q card you can get 20% off outdoor plants tomorrow (Thursday). And I got 2 lovely Lavender plants for £5 (£3.50 each / two for £5) in Waitrose - all their herbs in pots are 2 for £5 and a good size.

After keeping myself occupied in lock down by planting a herb garden, I'm now extending it.
At the moment filling it with anything lemony ie lemon thyme, melissa, lemon mint etc.,
I love the thought of home grown herbs, but I doubt I shall cook enough to use them all!🤣
