Longk, you paid for moss! You could have had the contents of my lawn for free!

 

Just ordered some Heritage Green exterior paint from Next for the fences. I may regret it before I'm done cos it's not as if I don't have anything else to do in the garden this year I'm just sick of looking at dark brown fence on one side and unpainted one at the top. It's quite a light green so will make the garden look bigger hopefully than the brown stuff.

It's this colour:

 

Bought some salvias, heucheras, hostas, trailing geraniums and 10 orange million bells.

 

Went to the plant fair not much there to be fair, not as good as when I last went about 4 years ago. Brought 2 Thalia fuchsias for £2
Then of to b&q to use my voucher bogof deal
Brought 6 trays of bedding
4 trays if begonias and 2 trays of salvias and a ruby patio rose for £3 because the pot was cracked
Not bad for £20

 

13 packs of summers bulbs at £1 each



that includes giant lily and big brother lily

 

Sal,
I have given up with those Zantedeschias.
They look great the first year. But then either come out very wishy washy, or don't flower again.

Zant aethiopica is the best one IMO.

 

last year , managed to get 3 flowers out of 20 plants , I`ve left my aethiopica outside and found it half rotten , the only surviving is the green goddes but it just because that was in the greenhouse.....
worth try , just to make my miss happy ; )

 

It's the one weed that I don't have!

 

I have Emory Paul, which has pretty large flowers

 

£2 - our local Cats Protection League had their Summer fair on Saturday.

 

That's a bargain Intel!

 

Hopefully in the spirit of this thread ... I weakened ... and I bought second hand ... and at great expense ... some Chelsea Tickets

 

The weirdest thing happened today I was just pulling out of work when all of a sudden my car veered off in the opposite direction and took me another (longer) way home which went past Bents garden centre. Then my car just pulled in of its own accord and next thing I know I'm being drawn by some invisible force into the garden centre, which also collected a trolley which must have been magnetic as it was being pulled along with me Then, EVEN STRANGER, when I got out into the planty bit, two Rhododendrons got dragged into my shopping trolley by the same invisible force! I'm all shaky now from the shock! The Rhododendrons have had enough trauma so I shall be kind and give them a home with me because I wouldn't want to uproot them again.

Horizon Monarch and Percy Wiseman:

 

Don't you just love it when that happens?
