2022 - What I did today

Do you not have a garden centre that recycles plastic pots nearby? Ours has an area for customers to dump pots - but also allows cheapskates like me to help themselves. It keeps down the costs for them of having the pots taken away, but also reduces “single use” plastics. I reuse my pots over and over until they are beyond use. I haven’t bought any new pots for yonks!

I don't know of any nearby garden centres that are accessible by public transport. There's a nursery about a 35-minute walk away (actually probably quite a bit longer when hills are taken into account!), but it's mostly via a narrow lane with lots of speeding cars and uphill on the way back (*ahem* I'm assuming I wouldn't find myself just coming back with some lightweight plant pots...)

I probably do have quite a few small pots somewhere, but most of my things are still in storage. My parents have brought some of my gardening supplies over, but the little pots haven't made an appearance yet!

I’m pretty lucky that I can walk to one in about 15 minutes. The “most generous pot supplier”  is a drive away, but it’s near to where I do my supermarket shop so I can kill two birds with one stone.
