just saw today, that Lidl are doing quite decent cold frames for 29.99 (called 'plant bed') also a sloping 'greenhouse' thing made of mesh type plastic which looks more durable for less right-by-the-sea gardens. (obviously hopeless for those of us who live in ridiculous places.)

also, mini tunnels, trellis thingies and some quite nice looking gardening clogs that look good for those who sometimes wander out to the chicken pen in their slippers. ahem. Embarassed

...

if you just happen to be looking for a tasteless garden gnome, I reckon you're in luck too! Rolling Eyes

No no no don't go there .
I just did and it cost me a fortune to get back out .
Ok , the plants weren't all in the best of condition --- but worth the risk at that price .
And all that Biker gear --- boot liners , rain suit , etc weren't cheap but do at least look like they will do the job and last for more than a day among the brambles !

Care to swop for a couple of flat anemonaes and a pair of trousers that don't fit ?

I was going in to get the greenhouse, but darling husband said he would rather get a "proper" one. If hes paying for it Im not going to argue. I didnt get any plants as our ground (read completly waterlogged quagmire that I lost a welly in yesterday) is not reday yet. Im sorry though that I did not get one of the mini greenhouse though for all the seeds
