@Upsy Daisy Might try it soon, I will use jiffy pellets and see how it goes.

They were all droopy and dying from thirst. I'm going to plant it asap.

I"m guilty of buying the saddest looking plants just to trying and save their lives

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Same here @Gemma, its amazing what can be revived with a good dollop of TLC

It's flowering very beautifully now.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I don't have much luck with bulbs....planted some tulips and am now waiting with bated breath to see if they bloom!
So, tempting fate I also bought these from Poundland....wish me luck please

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy They are fine. I had them before. Nothing wrong with them. I have actively sought out £1 plants from Poundland. Astilbe only £1, so were frilly edged oriental poppy which captivated @MaryMary, Gloriosa ..Nothing wrong at all.

Watch out for the lovely achillea .. They were such good value!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Will do @alp , thanks

Kept thinking that I should buy a plant with flowers, so travelled all the way to Lidl again. Saw the Salix Kilmarnock reduced to £5. Very pleased as on Wednesday, it was £5.99. At the checkout, it was embarrassing as the woman said she needed to get code. She went out and came back and keyed in the code. £2.99

Bought the magnolia for £5.99

Half of the branches are broken. Pray I can keep it alive.

Also, couldn't resist the 50p offer and bought primrose x 6 for 50p. Then son said the Dahlia and begonias in Homebase were reduced to £1.. Bought 4 packets. Crazy for dinnerplate!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Ooooh ! Well done @alp, you got some really lovely bargains there..

 

[alp]

Very happy with the £2.99 purchase! Always wanted a salix Kilmarnock.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I bet you are !! Brilliant

We went into a nearby town for shopping, and stopped by a (gasp!) big-box store. I hit the jackpot with four 3" pots of cherry tomatoes and herbs on sale. I had been looking for Mexican tarragon, either seed or plants, with no luck, and by golly, there the plants were--green, healthy, and on sale! I also got red, black, and yellow cherry tomatoes and a six-pack of coleus to put in the front planters.
French tarragon just doesn't like our humidity, but the Mexican tastes the same and can survive here. Whoo-hoo, there's Herbes de Provence in our future!

I also got red, black, and yellow cherry tomatoes

Wow! Wish I were there. I also like tarragons, but seeds are not easy to find. Wednesday, I need to buy some rocket seeds as the snow might have put paid to the seeds in the ground. So far, I haven't seen any tomato seedlings.

Well done, @marlingardener ! You know how I feel when I hit on bargains .. Indescribable joy!
