            I can't grow sunflowers in my present garden, they get battered by the wind. :sad:

                Ooooh I like those CharlieBot. There's nothing nicer than a visit to the garden centre & a little purchase! :hapfeet:
                Have you decided where you are going to plant them yet?

                    Recent purchases: Yellow rose standard from clearance, £10 (couldn't resist!). Blue heather from 'search and rescue' £1. Witch hazel 'Aphrodite,' a new magnolia 'Leonard Messel' budding nicely, and some daffodils (white and yellow varieties) and some bluebells. I did plant bulbs last autumn, but I have some plants that need re-potting, and I intend to plant the new daffs around the bottom in the new, larger pots - too late for bulbs, now. The bluebells are for the raised bed in the front garden.

                    And, the new pressure-washer and garden hose, which has cleaned the front garden wall up, beautifully!

                      You cant beat a pressure washer! When I get mine out, everything gets the pressure treatment!
