    To buy more plants than you need?? i suffer from plant envy after joining this forum...it's all your fault.:hapfeet:

    I have had loads growing on windowsills, in the kitchen, on top of the boiler and fridge, under the decking.....

    The garden is chocka already, and the plants haven't even started growing yet. still got 20 large pots of Dahlias to find room for, 30 trailing begonias, 10 other small pots of dahlias, and at last count, 96 sunflowers and 26 pelargoniums, not to mention the nicotiana and ferns.

          You'll have to move Simon and find yourself a place with a bigger garden. :biggrin:

                  Perfectly normal! I've got quite a few plants I don't know what to do with! Looks like I'll be giving some away again. :rolleyespink: :snork:

                    Don't see the problem myself :noidea::snork:

                    It's when you start collecting large shrubs in containers with nowhere to put them that the trouble starts :doh: I'm going to have to be ruthless and get rid of some this year.

                      Sounds familiar! I've planted 8 courgettes and 16 tomato plants.... I only need to feed myself with these!

                      Yup, sounds right!

                      I have loads of stuff in pots down the side of my house.
                      Not sure where I am going to squeeze them in :yikes:

                      Sounds normal to me too. Hope you're using your car parcel shelf and dashboard - you can get plenty more packed in there :smile:
