      After being infuriated in my attempts to water my pots yesterday due to the kinks in my hose pise, I have taken the plunge and purchased an XHose, the kinkless hosepipe.

              Some Geraniums, they where marked down to £1.50 for 6 from B&Q, so natch, i bought 18!

              Total cost was £4.50 for 18.

              Decent size too!

                      And I bought three Fuchsia triphylla too.

                      All looking small and perfectly formed!

                        Not strictly a purchase, as a very nice man on Gumtree was giving it away. A load of Welsh slate, to be used for raising/levelling the base on my greenhouse and maybe a small raised bed. [emoji1]
