Yesterday I bought a little 6 module tray of musselburgh leek for £2.99.  When I teased them out and potted them on there were 44 decent sized leeklets.  I bought them as they were a lot more advanced than my own sown batch.  Although a pack of seeds is about the same price all things considered I thought this reasonable value (less than 7p per plant).

Incidentally there was another variety with only 6 baby leeks one in each module for £2.99 (what a rip off)

Mostly I reckon Garden Centres are a rip off for baby veg plants.  Has anyone else had good value at Garden Centres?  What with?

I got a six-module tray of strawberries a couple of years ago that looked half dead at been and queued. I bought them because they were knocked down to two quid!

The original six plants survived with a little TLC and I now have two strawberry beds full of all the the runners - in total probably more than 30 plants!

Best bargain lately is a small pot of sweet peas ("Old Spice" but there were other choices) for 99p.

Pot looked a bit congested but I managed to separate them in a bowl of water and there were over 30! 

Have also noticed that Homebase have a large selection of veg seedlings in trays or modules. They're not expensive at £1.99 (I think that's right) but some of them are pretty expensive even at that price (or even rather impractical - carrots?  )

I managed to get a very poor looking Fig tree for £2.50 in March

They thought it was dead or, dying but I had a close look and found some greeness in the few buds. It's now the picture of health and doing great. Saved myself quite a few quid.
