B&Q Bargains...

Love a good bargain. Well done, those flowers will be lovely with a little TLC.

What is it about B&Q?, no matter which store their plants are always neglected.

I love a bargain too motinot. A really good recent one was a giant pot of agapanthus (headbourne hybrids)originally priced at £25 was reduced to £12 and it still had the seed heads on! - Bought recently from Wyevales - who are having their summer clearance. Im going to have a go at sowing some seed (with help from Carol Klein " grow your own garden".

Certainly a bargain. Well done

Great purchases :o)))

Well done...Moti...nice if you can get it...The baskets are very nice...£1.00. well spent....

Going to pop to B&Q !!!!

You lucky thing, our local Focus has just closed and been taken over by B&Q so maybe there'll be a few bargains to be had here soon :-))

Sorry Moti...put the . in the wrong place...:))) would have been even better eh...

Yes Crissue....:>)..I like to keep a regular check on b&q Simbad...:>)..Good idea grandmage, perhaps their staff are better at looking after the plants, than our local lot and then you wouldn't get many bargains lol...:>)

Now that is a bargain - well done!

Hi Moti, the staff at our B&Q are so dosey, and the plants are never watered, it breaks my heart. I purchased two herbs that I didnt want just to save them from dying Lol.

Well done, Motty ... that beautiful Aster for just a pound ... can I shop with you in future ... lol!

I couldn't see any problem with the Aster Shirley...my sister said, 'shove it in your basket and come on'.... ...Grandmage, i was in the store one evening and a little chap was using a hose and spraying the ground area of the GC..He never watered one plant, just my feet!!....Sheilar, Tt and Cinderella, thankyou......:>)..Poppyl, that was a great purchase, bet you were delighted!!...:>)...Grannyb, all the stores must be the same...:>)
Last weekend i got a large white Echinacea originally £9.95 for £2.50 and a Caryopteris 'worcester gold' originally £7.98 for £2.00....The only thing now is....Where to put them...:>)

I think we have all experienced that Moti, there are no gardeners working in B & Q, they havnt a clue and I cannot bear to see the plants in such distress.

It wouldn't do we were working there Grandmage...There wouldn't be any bargains to be had!!..lol

Very true! So wont apply, I like a bargain and the satisfaction of bringing the plant back to life Lol.

Me too....:>)

Wow Motinot what a lot you got must say went to my B&Q and they didn't have much at all:(

Not fair, I see all these bargains and our town hasn`t got a B&Q, Focus closed and being replaced with Sainsbury, we do have Homebase but our bargains have to come from Morrisons or take a trip out of town, plonker me never learnt how to drive,( duh).....

The garden staff in your B&Q must be more efficient than ours Nana...lol....Poor you Lincslass...You could buy a set of L plates you know...:>)

What bargains you had love that aster too beautiful.

:>)....Dont quite know why it was 'marked down'.....ah well...:>)

At least you got the bargain look on the bright side :o))

Oh, i am Sixpence....:>)

And you got your feet washed for free lol....:)))

slapped hands for Sue...:)))

lol....:>)

They is nothing like a great bargain is there? lucky you.

Have you planted your baskets Moti...!!

Also the Asters I bought Saturday, look very similar to these above, which had no name...I posted a pic...what do you think, is it possible they are the same...

Hi Angie...love a good bargain...I enjoy the plant more if i get it cheaply....I did plant the baskets Crissue....I have trailing violas in one of them and a mixed lot in the other...The Aster label just said 'A. Novi-Belgii.. Blue Michaelmas Daisy....Dont know which one though....
