Show us your recent purchases 2016

I went to my local garden nursery to by some slug repellent gel for my pots. I was accosted by these three, kept following me everywhere. So naturally, they had to come home with me. I hadn't the heart to leave them behind after they'd followed me so faithfully.

 

Healthy looking stalkers you have there @Joolz

 

That pot is lovely @"M" and the basket, wicked finds!

Went to buy a pool and tarpaulin.. came home with a pool, parasol, twine, lawn feed, a fridge jug, 2 more rolls of log edging, a big trellis and then went back to the what shop and bought.. 2 green heucheras, no name, at 2 quid each and another lewisia 50p

And 2 purple palace heucheras

2 of these heucheras, no name lovely colour though. 2 more digitalis Camelot cream and Dalmatian peach, gypsophilia, astilbe pink and another euphoria.

Another lavender blue scent for a pound and a Bergernia for 2 quid


Thank God the Mr thinks I only bought a pool and parasol..

 

After visiting 3 garden centres, finally tracked down where I could get Bronze Fennel and came home with this little tray of mixed herbs



So:
1 x sage
3 x bronze fennel
1 x orange thyme
5 x lemon thyme
plus a large pot labelled simply "Thyme" and had to be bought as it was only £1

 

I seem to be having a 'thing' for Lupins at the moment. Hubby & I went to David Austin roses yesterday, and whilst I resisted buying a rose, or 5, I did however, visit their half price table. Three lupins all the same variety for the princely sum of, £5.25! They're all a good size, the only thing wrong with them that I could see were some broken stems. Then nipped into my local Wyvale on the way home and rescued this Aquilegia for the total of a £1.00 coin!

I'll be looking after these in the greenhouse before popping them outside in the spring next year.

 

Well I never noticed it when I visited your asparagus in the night

 

Aha! I see the issue: short arms

 

nipped in asda yesterday and got myself a solanum glasnevin for 62p on the weekend I had a nip into bnq too, bought 4 pink wax begonias for Betty (next door) and a biggish Delta's Sarah fuchsia for my mam in law..she's been looking for ages. It's lush! Tray of 9 geraniums for 50p, 2 boxes of miracle grow feed, 2 cordylines 3 quid each one green and one red for myself..no idea where I'm going to put them

 

Went to B&Q yesterday on a whim, and came back with a Black Knight Buddlijah (sp?) Only young, but looks healthy enough! Didn't fall for the trap of 5 plants for £20.. although I was trying to!! [emoji1]


Now to work out a location for it! [emoji39]
