Percy, I read today that over 2,000 garden centres are closing.
It must be the worst time of year for them to have these problems what with all the spring and summer bedding just coming ready.
They reckon billions of plants, shrubs and young trees will have to be scrapped. Such a damn shame isn't it.
My local garden centre delivered my 10 bags of compost last Monday, but only because I had pre-booked and paid for it before they were made to close.
As far as I know, they are not taking any more orders now.
I was surprised that 70 plug plants arrived which I had booked online before Christmas too.
