Depends what they are - would not expect summer bedding on sale anywhere yet-growers are not that cynical surely??
Spend a little live alot....and where gardening is concerned, its definitely worth a chance with supermarket plants!! After a few people at work stating how good value Aldi was... i decided to try some roses and purchased 2 climbing roses at a mere £1.79 each! I also bought a peace rose to try out, ive added plenty of blood fish and bone meal and hope after planting in the Autumn that this year.....once it warms up, gives them chance !!!
Also last week after think of nipping in to see what other offers they had, i bagged myself a bargain at 2 Magnolias at £3.99 each (half price)!!!
Yes Aldi and Lidl are good for bargains . the Stupid people will plant summer bedding now because the news media/weather service says it is . Do you not remember last year April was a compleat wash out and May well the first two weeks were great and everything went downhill after that ,
Is it me, or are gardeners in general obsessed with the weather? The ladies that teach my son's class (He's 4 and in foundation stage 2, first year of compulsory school), say they don't bother watching the weather forecast any more, but ask me instead. I do look at the forecast, but also take note of the long range forecast, and what the weather has been like recently, and what the plants are doing.
So do you think once you start gardening you become a bit of an amateur meteorologist? Asking because a lot of folk will buy and plant out the bedding plants, and then cuss when they die. Whearas us gardeners may buy them and put them in the greenhouse (if you are lucky enough to have one), or pop them in the coldframe until the weather is right.

I wouldn't dream of planting out bedding plants just yet. Pot on under a frame for a little while yet.

but people are stupid they will buy them because this time last year they did
