I popped into my local Aldi this morning and discovered that their special buys theme for today includes a lot of gardening items, all for sale at surprisingly reasonable prices. I found you could buy a mini greenhouse, blood, fish and bone, summer flowering bulbs and seeds.

I only went in for a pint of milk but came away with some small bedding plants, cloches for the veg beds and a modular seed tray propagator as well as blood, fish and bone and compost activator.

I am looking forward to potting on the plug plants and will be interested to see how they turn out. It is too early in the year to plant them out but they will be fine in the greenhouse for the time being.

It is always worth keeping an eye out at Aldi and Lidl because these deals pop up fairly frequently.
