    Hi everyone,

    been BnQ today whilst the sale was on...was not expecting that much good stuff to be there but there was :biggrin: I`m not actually sure if i really got that a good of a deal though (i think these sales are a bit dodgy), BUT, im very happy with my new plants anyway :dancy:

    I got a white wisteria, a soloman rantonnetii, a photinia and best off all a bottle brush that looks amazing!! All for about 50 pounds the wisteria is massive too and its flowering going to give that to Mum though (tubs)

          Looking a bit sorry for iteself at the moment, but theres a couple more leaves on the way so it should be fine when Ive popped it in a hole & watered it a bit.

          Lots of really rather poor bedding plants & sad veg in the Swindon branch - makes my leggy toms look much better !

                No tree ferns at mine either....... booger! I did get a few bits though. I wonder if they will stock back up on stuff overnight. It was jammed in there today and a bit sparse.

                      Yea it was heaving when i arrived too Catztail, but by the time i had picked my plants the que had reduced to normal size. That did not stop a couple for blatently trying to que jump in front of me!! Then trying to play dumb when i pulled them up for it :cool: "What are you talking about we are in the que??"
                      "YES, but the que starts behind me not infront of me you ignorant tree!!"
                      Infact BnQ was so busy they had staff there :wub2:

                      I did not see any banana plants yesterday Joolz but i`m sure i have seen them before at BnQ well worth a look you could get 2 for 1 :biggrin:

                          £40 - which is more than I would normally pay for something that has a 50/50 chance of surviving the winter.. but it was in the sale....

                          Put it in the shady nettly corner of the garden ; it should do well there - mind you it looks a bit lonely so I will have to keep my eyes open for a couple more next time theres cheapness going on..

                          I wanted to bring one of these back from Tasmainia earlier in the year, but somone might have noticed the fronds sticking out of my bag..
