Grow your own and gardening offers!!

I am not a person who buys a paper and I very rarely read them, I tend to listen to the news on the radio or watch it on TV...sometimes I may browse through the paper at my parents hose but that's about it.

Although I don't buy a paper my son does have a paper round and his papers tend to be wrapped in old papers and you can imagine my delight when his papers were wrapped in the below today.

special gardening offers
Extract taken from 'The Telegraph' 28/01/12.

I understand that the paper is a little old now but I just wanted to share with you the great offer that was in there. I have kept this and I am going to order some bags as I thought it would be great for my Sister who is growing some veggies this year in her small garden with the children. I am even contemplating getting myself some and trying them out for Christmas new potatoes.
They are great for anyone who only has a small garden or for the beginner...and at such a bargain price you can't go wrong!!

The Telegraph also have a website called gardenshop so go check out the link to see what they have...you might find something worth your while and I shall certainly check it out from time to time!!

And yes I do realise that this post is wholly advertising a newspaper...but the way I figure it...if I think I've found something that I think others will be interested in and may benefit them then I'm going to shout out about it!!

I'll be back tomorrow to show you some pictures of why I have been so busy this last week and didn't get a chance to post anything for you all to read!!

  2. We used bags like these last year and they worked well.

    By the way my blog isn't moving it's just my websites that are moving so no need for you to change any links at all

  3. My dad gave me some of these bags when he moved house last year. I might give them a go this year along with the containers which I usually use.

    1. I've only ever grown my potatoes in the ground Jo so i am quite looking forward to seeing how these work out for me.

      Hope we both get good results!

  4. I like little ads like this. I've always thought they were fun to read even if it was for products I didn't want. Maybe it's the way they are designed, kind of like websites.

  5. I think it is fun to check out the special offers...as long as you can condition yourself to only purchasing them if you need them!!

  6. Sometimes you can access the offers without buying the paper, if you know where to look :) Thompson & Morgan have their current offers on display at http://www.plantoffers.com/index.html :)
