sale corners
One day my daughter found the most sad looking plant, it was a standard
privet and it was being sold for £2 at one of the Ikea stores. I popped it into a sheltered spot and now, four years later it is a beautiful plant, big healthy and very pretty. Not long ago I saw one of the same quality for sale at a garden centre and the price was just over £100,there are bargains out there :-) kate |

Impatience ('though not Impatiens) is expensive in gardening. It's a great joy to buy a small, thrifty plant (or seed!) and raise it to substantial maturity. Congratulations. |
