merledogs Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Griff - have a look here. The plants are being sold by Thomson & Morgan but through the Tesco.com website and it does say they are in stock Tip : when looking for plants I find you get more from Google if you use the latin name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 i wouldn't be able to carry them back from the garden centre. Merledogs, thanks for that, added them to my basket along with some paint and stuff, went to checkout but they said they hadn't got enough in stock.... i only added 1 pack to the basket! never mind he will just have to wait until next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just in case this is of any use to anyone The Telegraph are giving away collections of plants. However you do need to buy a Saturday edition of the paper for every collection and they may put a silly p&p price on them. It might be worth taking a peek at the paper before buying it to see if it's really worth it. Anyway this week's is offer is 6 young hardy fuschias worth £19.98 : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/promotions/10056165/free-garden-plants-collections.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I have ordered some summer flowering seeds which can be planted (scattered) over the borders. I need them to fill some space between the other plants and also to give some summer colour because all the other plants are spring flowering. I've ordered: Stocks Eschscholzia Bridal Bouquet Linum Charmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 oooooooo how lovely Loobie, even better that they were a gift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I will have to pop into our homemade and see if they have some griff as they might survive the summer if we have sun! Though the weeds are all flourishing at the moment. Homemade homebase when will the iPhone learn it doesn't always (often) know what I want to say?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
