SHOW US YOUR PURCHASES - 2022

Had me spinach so i was ok

 

We buy big bags like that too seems to last me years...I'm sure it multiplies inside the bag!!

 

I think the last one lasted a few years.

 

Yes I think ours is actually on it's 3rd year, but not much left now.

 

My pond plants arrived today

Typha minima (the thing that looks like upturned old toothbrush) and Frogbits (nearly visible).

 

Very happy with a nip to Morrisons- they had a good range of hardy cacti and succulents. This beauty came home with me, in general I consider any plant over £5 a robbery but decided to invest £8 in it.

Well labelled, claims to be hardy to -7 c and the root system looks strong. They also had interesting Mangaves or whatever the new hybrids are called but my budget pain threshold was already met.

Well, I did buy a pair of bypass secateurs for £2, Morrison's secateurs are very good until I forget them outside for the winter and they finally rust.

 

Did a bit of shopping and couldn't resist these.

 

I bought another Adenium obessum rooted cutting today from one of my Spanish suppliers. Unknown colour ... as is the other one I bought some time ago as it hasn't flowered yet but is nice and healthy! Too cheap to pass up at a fiver plus £2.50 post.

 

I picked this up today at a local garden centre. Pot in hand whilst talking to the plantsman, he looked at it and said "that's not in the best condition, take it to the till and say ****** says 50% off". A bargain!

Spiraea 'Candlelight'

 

Treated myself to a new set of good quality secateurs. They were on offer with a free holster.

 

On Monday I ordered four glazed mini ceramic pots with saucers, 10 mini terracotta pots and 50 mesh pieces for the drainage holes from Amazon Germany and they arrived today from Spain. Sadly one of the glazed pots is broken so I am writing Amazon.

 

I got a full refund from Amazon including post for my entire order.

 

@clanless
Your secateurs and holster; where from ?

 

I couldn't resist it, I just ordered a rooted cutting of Hibiscus mutabilis (Confederate Rose) from my supplier in Spain as I had no luck with seed ...

 

Bought 4 sheets of clear Acrylic 2 mm A4 size, plus some 9" X 1" Pine
Planning to make a couple of Garden Trugs
