Show us your recent purchases.

Kristen,
may we look forward to a November 2012 update please?

 

I need, and am open to, plenty of that Still ... that leaves me sifting from "Ask two gardeners and get three opinions"

 

You may.

Next question?

 

In all seriousness I have started accumulating stuff for an update, but there is still quite a lot of work-in-progress that I would prefer to include rather than carry over - the planting of these hedges, for example, and ideally the purchase and planting of the Apple Espalier walk too ...

 

It's your garden blog Kristen. Whenever you want, we'll all be waiting

Good point, well made

 

Kristen, I don't think Loli will cope on her own, I think you need a Land Army!

 

About 400 spring-flowering bulbs... for now.
Tulips, crocuses, muscari, daffodils and some camassia.



And my beloved rose shipments are being delivered... Still waiting for a bulk of them to come, but this is what happened because of ONE SINGLE rose. The fact that it would grow to be 2-3 meters tall had just escaped me at the time of ordering, so I had to act 'on emergency'...

​

Beauties...



AND... I found the treasure which my daughter and my niece had buried about a decade ago. Feel secure and content now.

 

Growing money? I've always dreamed of that

 

I'll sell you some seeds if you like?

 

Hey, I'm not daft. Bet they're only seeds of pennies. I want to grow tenners

 

Blast! Foiled again :(

 

Got a package from the USA today with some seeds in it ... Ahem! no ... I've got that wrong, the customs declaration clearly says "Craft Beads" and that it is a Gift. Bless them
