Had to go to "The Range" this morning and as always had a look at their
plants, they had 5 or 6 trolleys of reduced plants, all actually alive
and looking quite good, just past their best.
Named Michaelmas Daisies in 2.5 litre pots down to £1.27. Lilies with
probably 4 corms £1.70, a named dahlia in 3.5 litre pot 75p.

I remember a couple of years ago picking up gentians in 1 litre pots for
10p each, that was a couple of days before Xmas.
Mind you there is always some rubbish amongst them.

T&M seeds are all reduced to 50p in my local garden centre, although
why they chuck them all in one big bin I can't imagine. At least divide
them into flowers and veg. Nobody wants to rummage through several
hundred, so they might as well bin them and be done with it


I expect it saves staff time and trouble to chuck them all in a bin and
let you do the sorting! You're not paid a wage. I agree with you btw!
