Morrisons

Apart from having some cheap plants in Morrisons at the moment (£1.79 for young climbers, £6 for Magnolias), they've also got some other gardening stuff v cheap such as propagators, mini greenhouses, shelving unit for greenhouse, etc.

I bought a 1.9m silver obelisk for £6 and almost bought an arch for (I think) £8.

Lots of cheap planters as well in varying sizes ranging from £1 to £5, so definitely worth a look if you're passing

 

I always check out the gardening section when I go in a supermarket. My closest ones are Asda and Sainsburys. Once in a while the have some interesting bits.

 

Most Morrisons stores will also sell you surplus 'cut-flower' buckets for around 99p for 10, I got 15 for 99p last year :D; they make great pots, they're around 5lts, just pop a few drainage holes in the bottom - job done..

 

crabapple from Morrisons

..bought a bare root crabapple (Red sentinel) at Morrisons 2 weeks ago. Was only £5.00 but looked like had a rought time. It's those trees that the nurseries can't normally sell because they are damaged or not well grown. But with us only renting the house I wouldn't spend more money on trees. It looked healthy enough so I am pretty sure it will grow nicely.
Actually, in my search for less expenxive ways to grow a tree I got some golden chain/laburnum seedlings from a friend which were growing well, but our neighbours assiduous dad was mowing the poor little things down when including a bit of our lawn in his efforts.
Now I have a more visible tree..

 

Their bags of onion setts are £1 and were good of quality in the store where I bought mine.
