It was very traumatic I tell ya

 

Merleworld, it's called automatic pilot!

 

My order arrived from Hill House Nursery today!

Jovenella violacea (£8.50) which is a really good size.........................




Salvia discolor and Nicotiana glauca....................


Sue had three plants too (a Passiflora exoniensis, a Thunbergia gregorii and a Mackaya bella). Total order including p&p was £60. All are well established too.

 

I managed NOT to buy this Hippo Table at Chelsea



did rather fall in love with him though

 

I bet the price tag was as heavy as the hippo?

 

£15K apparently :( They are limited edition ... and Bronze :(

 

so how do they make them???? get a real hippo and feel them up with bronze ????????


this morning I was walking at local flower market , 2 stalls only, rathen then the usual 10 , one was closing down and on the other a poor old lady drinking her cup ....
looked at me and told me that all the bulbs are reduced to £1 , loads of lily but managed to find the last 5 ........ ......

15 cannas bulbs for £5

 

Bargain Sal

This chap somehow managed to appear in my garden

 

Just bought a tangerine Geum to grow in a pot in my new project.

Also bought a tray of Nasturtiums to grow in my Tipsy pots normally I would have sown the seeds but was to late.

I am out in my garden its a wonderful hot sunny morning.

 

Not really worth showing but on Tuesday I got an Impatiens tinctoria from Bodnant Garden centre.. anyone who grows it will know its foliage aint nothing special but it's flowers are, and have an amazing scent too.

 

Got my seeds which I ordered the other day : Stocks (cos I love the smell), Eschscholzia and Linum Charmer.

Also bought some fence stain, more compost and some trellis.

 

Brought a ghost fern today for the shady spot on the patio.
2 trailing geraniums and 2 trailing fuchsia for the hanging baskets.
A campanula for the little un cos he wanted a purple flower
Off the b&q on Tuesday to spend my free £10 voucher

 

Knowing Chelsea, they've probably hiked the price, it'll probably be on Ebay next week for a quarter of that!
