Aldi is always worth keeping an eye on.

Hi @Jack Sparrow When ever my hubby goes out...he's in there mate and if anything is there that he knows will interest me..he's soon on the blower

 

I went to Crews Hill 2 weekends ago - looking for something for the new raised sleeper beds I am putting in.
Came home with 3 Trachycarpus with stems of about a meter.

 

@"M" lovely haul ya got there me lovely ....but i do especially like the little dragonfly ...was he a new purchase too? Very sweet

 

Planted out my newly purchased lavendars.....perfect timing because it is now raining
My eyes wandered everywhere whilst in the nursery.....large, comprehensive and stocking some unusual and tender plants.......but I was (temporarily) strong willed . However, a few things have preoccupied me now so I will go back in a day or two.

 

He is! I have another one (different shaped stone) and I thought they could be friends. When I eventually get my pebble fountain plumbed in ( "if" ) they will sit there and enjoy the spray If I ever find a third, it will complete the set.

 

@Verdun come this weekend I hope to have our grasses put out front crossed for good weather...I sat today and combed every one and gave them a neat haircut, as I got the other half to purchase a comb with wide heads on them, as I've had them out side adjusting to the weather and the pampas grasses have been put in large pots with a level of gravel at the bottom in multi purpose soil and two have been put in each pot but separated with gravel on top...so they can establish themselves before the conifer comes out in april/may

 

Sounds good Gail

 

Hi @Verdun the weather this morning was currently all over the shower besides it trying to snow and I said to my hubby leave well alone now, if they fail they fail...same for the camellia because they need to adjust if our climate is changing

 

Trying to ssssssnow Gail? It must be 12 degrees here at least; a stunning day
You are right to leave the garden alone then for the time being

 

@Verdun it was beautiful here yesterday and quite warm at times plus the day before but today we had the same this morning heavy rain then snow and about 11-30 the shined on we and still is but it's

 

Yesterday had 4 chilli plants through the post.



Potted them up

They're very hot chillies
Carolina Reaper Chocolate
Seven pot yellow
Carolina Reaper
And a free one that i don't know the name, but it's a very hot one.

 

Big lemon trees in Aldi only £14.99 each. Then went and got a nice pot for £20 from garden centre. Will pot up and put in conservatory

 

Nice one @Logan no messing about ...hot chillies though that's a bit harsh on the mouth

 

After a while i got used to it. But the hardest one to get used to is,putting it in a casserole. I do a lot of fried red onions and put it in that and garlic.
