A self watering herb house! https://www.giftrepublic.com/garden/grow...ring-house
I think anyone who is given one of these is going to be disappointed! Imagine how much rosemary you could grow from seed in a coir pellet. Cute gift but IMO useless. I might use it for growing something little - not sure what at the moment!

Went to Morries this afternoon and a very friendly staff member was adding stuff from a trolley to the damaged/end of line shelves. She said that if I saw anything on the trolley or on the shelves, she would mark it down further for me.Big Grin
I haven't had any Easter Eggs this year - but now I have 4.Big Grin All with battered boxes but with completely unsquashed eggs and chocolates - they were 25p each, previously £2.50/£4.50.
I also acquired a pair of gardening gloves for 45p, as the other two pairs in the pack of three had gone AWOL. However, the YS label wasn't recognised at the till, so they gave them to me. Big Grin
Did I mention the YS Apple cream turnovers?? Its been a good cheap day!

If you don't find a use pass it on to someone with kids for growing cress,  I remember our kids growing cress in egg shells.

I got a free bag of carrots from Aldi too. Someone overstocked for Easter methinks.

I called in at the church they only had potatoes and carrots boxes full of them. Like you say JJB must be down to over stocking.
