Oh dear...I think I'm addicted

Raining here, bored sitting around at home while OH does DIY so I decided to go for "look only" at the local garden centre.

Came home with 3 plants. Managed to convince myself at the garden centre that I had room for them. Came home and now wondering where to plant them. Oh dear - had to hide them as well, as OH asks why I need to buy more.

Anyone else got this problem?:wink:

 

I think there are many of us suffering with this addiction and subsequent problem, Aaron, except I don't hide them .... :hehe:

 

LOL your not on your own.
Because i am out and about with work i am always picking up bargains for the garden.
Fruit shops
Pound shop
Wilkos
You name it.
I only went to take some receipts to a customer to other day and ended up with 2 beautiful red lupin plants and a hosta.
There is never anywhere to plant them when i get home.
I have planted so many plants and bulbs this year and forgotten where they are or the labels have gone.
I have just got to wait , it will be a nice surprise when they start to grow and hopefully flower. :dh: :hehe:

 

I always manage to refrain from buying in a garden centre...........until I hit the bargain area!

So far this year, I have managed to spend a fortune on plants etc, but I got four tomato plugs, four fuchsia plugs and some lobelia plugs from Wilkos all Half Price!

I don't like paying loads for perennials, so I found a local plant centre that sell small pots of perennials, for 60p per pot!!!! All I have to do now is ensure that they flower, so that I can get some seed to make more! Simple, and Cheap!

 

Not on your own Aaron-I go tomorrow to fill my boots

 

:DThat'll be a yes from me then.

 

ive got the bug to everytime i go to a garden center or morrisons im always picking up a few plants for my balcony just bought a 6 pack of plants today came home and thought mmmm were will i put them managed to put a few in my hanging baskets and a few in my pots, also bought a clematis the other day and bought a new pot

 

I went mad, bought astrantia major, a couple euphorbias, hydrangea seemannii and three treasure-two Godaisyu peonies and one High Noon peony, then spent the rest of the day making up new beds for them. A small fortune, but worth it-I can't wait for these to be in flower-there'll be no hiding those with the usual"it's been there all the time, you must have missed it" lol


Godaisyu





High Noon

 

New beds for them Claire. Does that mean the lawn space has got smaller?

 

No, they go under the canopy of the oaks trees along with some very beautiful hydrangeas sent to me by a fab member here.


Although, it's still the plan lol.

 

Yeah, a major problem. Went into Otter's today to get a Tom. plant and came out with a Victoria plum Gonna have trouble hiding that!:lollol:

 

Hide it under the tom, Rob.:gnthb:

 

Dai, who is "Rob":hehe:

 

Did it again.:o
I took my dad shopping to Lidl and ended up with 2 Bleeding heart dicentra plants.
1 pink
1 white.
They have some lovely plants there.
All i have to do now is find somewhere to put them.:hehe:

 

I've decided that buying a plant or bulbs at the supermarket doesn't count if you're doing other shopping as well. Makes sense...doesn't it?
