I don't spend huge amounts on garden stuff but I love visiting gardens and will always come home with plants.
The Lockdown has meant I couldn't do that - I'm not complaining because I've loved every minute of having to stay home.
But my garden is full - maybe I've had more time to plant stuff in, or the weather has brought more plants on faster?
I bought 10 dahlia tubers in jan ...about £24.00
I also bought 3 packets of flower seed approx £7.00
3 bags of compost - £10.00
Then I splashed out on 10 clematis - £110.00
So a total of £141.00 ( but the clematis was an investment )
How much have you spent?

I bought some seeds from RealSeeds in February and some compost from the local shop about then too. Haven't bought anything since as I haven't been anywhere to shop and can't think of any seeds to order online. About £30 spent this year.

A lot this year.
£1500 on a polytunnel to start with.
about £140 on compost from Dalefoot compost at Malvern show last year, delivered in January (when will I go to another show?) which causes a problem because it was the best I've ever used but quite dear. 2 blueberries and strawberries from T&M (the blueberries were OK) £16. then some seeds not too many this year probably about £15.
I may see a return on this years investments though - if I live to be 100.

Palette of compost £120
Seeds, roughly £10
Chilli feed, probably just under £50.
This is probably an average year

I'm surprised. I thought I would have seen a lot of arm chair buying.
Mark that must be a fab Poly! My husband surprised me with a 20ft Greenhouse one year. My immediate thought was I'm never going to get that money back but he loves bikes ( the pedalling kind) and he said " you don't usually get a hobby that pays for itself"

6 PepperPlants,6 Aubergine plant, 1 Tarragon, because mine died, three perforated hoses and a couple of packets of seeds. I haven’t kept an account but I suppose in the region of £50. The biggest outlay was the hoses but they are an investment.
