If you are near an Aldi store, it's worth calling in at the moment for some great gardening bargains. Our store has:
Little potted perennials
Fruit trees
Little bedding plant plugs
Stainless steel hand tools
Seed trays, flower pots etc
Seed compost, perlite
Blood fish and bone
Gardening gloves
and more, all at bargain prices.

Unfortunately we don't have one anywhere near us. Wish we did.
Lidl had some magnolia the other day, I regret not getting one, as they looked just as healthy as the ones in the GC I saw today and a fraction of the price.
I've previously purchased Aldi's hand tools, a trowel and small rake and at £1.99 they are good value for money and I think, stainless steel.The replacement covers for the four shelved plastic GH 's are also good value. I've had seeds from Aldi which have germinated several years after their sow by date
I'm also reliably informed Lidl have their garden range on sale from this coming Thursday.
Green Magpie I went yesterday had a tip of from GWRS on new allotment thread, I brought some seed compost looks good stuff, net tunnel and net cloche and sieve, got an apple tree to fan train, windowsill tray, vermiculite,
Think at min you could stock up or if you are just starting out great bargains there to be had
Next Thursday 3.3.16 Lidl will have garden things in
I think I'd have cautious expectations of things like fruit trees from Aldi, but the little potted perennials and the tools and hardware items looked pretty good.
fruit tree only cost £2.49 so not bad for that, there were some nice plants in there
What are Aldi's charging for their perennials?
I think the perennials at Aldi were £1.99. Just small ones, in 3 or 4-inch pots, but they mostly looked quite healthy. Foxgloves, acillea, ersyimum, coryopsis were ones I spotted.
Lidl fruit trees
I bought some aldi apple trees a couple of years ago. They are growing well, fruited and are the correct varieties as labelled. I needed pollinators for our big apple tree as the one in the neighbours garden died, and now we have lots of apples again.
