Bedding plants from the garden centre have become ridiculously expensive. Each plant is nearly one pound each so it would have cost me over £60 to fill the border next to patio.
So this year I have experimented with buying plug plants online from Jersey Plants Direct. When they arrived they were so small, I wondered what I had done. Even replanting in trays and growing them on in the conservatory, they were still tiny when planted out as the photo above.
However, they all seemed to have survived and now, late in July they are at their best.
I actually bought 70 "ready" plants for £16.99 or 24 pence each, a huge saving and a successful experiment. And there were enough over to fill three pots for the side patio.
