I'm on holiday from Saturday the 26th of July for one week. Of course I will be looking out for superb species of plants to sell in the garden centre while I'm away, that's if they have any in the pubs we visit!

Sunflowers £1.99

Dwarf sunflowers £1.99 each

The article we were asked to take part in that was commented on in an earlier post

Discount Plants interviewed for an article on garden centres and the web see: Gleewire article

was published in the Cottingham Times this month. We'd like to thank the support of our customers who have supported us over the years and have continued to find our prices and plants are some of the best around. Most gardeners now seem to be just coming in to fill the odd spot in their borders or baskets but the weather though erratic seems to be very good for the plants.

Garlic spray

The garlic mixture can be used as frequently as needed and so far has kept slugs and other creepy crawlies off my Hostas.

1. Chop finely a couple of garlic cloves and put in a roughly pint jar with a screw on lid. Make sure it won't break when you add the boiled water.
2. Add boiled water carefully to the finely chopped garlic cloves, put on lid and soak in the water for two days or longer.
3. Remove the garlic pieces from the water or if too lazy for that carefully pour some of the mixture into a spray bottle or some into your watering can.
4. Spray on plants as often as needed. If you haven't removed the bits be careful not to bung up your spray gun and use the last bit in your watering can without a rose attachment and the bits of garlic can be left to come out around your most damaged or potentially damaged plants.

Lilies just £1 for a pot of 3

Absolutely beautiful lilies in a pot of 3 plants that are bloomin lovely and bloomin now.
