    For the last few years carboot sales have provided me with lots of cheap plants, pots, wood, and all manner of things useful in the garden.

    This morning saw the first 2 of the season round here and I picked up a lovely mature Corylopsis shrub about 3ft across in a 7lt pot for just £3, happy days :)

      Excellent bargain there Bilbo :thumbsup:
      And, a great reminder ... I'll need to look out for where the car boots are in my area.
