Got myself a brand new hedge trimmer for £35 from screwfix last week.

Hey, the guys and gals who went to Shiney's open weekend, let's see your purchases / swaps! You never know, it might inspire some of the rest of us to make the trip next time!!

 

These arrived whilst I was away in Shineyland. Mr jenny unpacked them, potted them up - according to the instructions and put them on the sunny window sill. What a star !! Didn't he do well?

 

Had an email from J Parkers they have 4 x £2 offers at the moment -

Got my eye on
Nerine Bowdenii (pack of 8)
Patio Oriental Lilies (pack of 10)
Potentilla Monarch Velvet (pack of 6)

All the above are hardy I believe - the last offer is for trailing verbena (pack of 6)

For ordering they are giving away a free 6-pack of trailing fuchsias - and in my basket I have put a 6-pack of mixed Hemerocallis - not the special ones that many of you grow - but I can remember my mum having an orange one which was lovely @ £6.49 (not on offer)

Delivery is £3.99 on top. They also have a lot of half price offers too
Might go back there once I get home from the pub and order them (hic)
Watch this space ........

If you live anywhere near Oxford I can give you a bagful for nowt!

 

Today, at the Kent Garden Show, I bought a garden "sculpture" (metal). I did buy a select few plants (took friends, who bought with a frenzy thus limiting my 'transport' space .. I've only got a Clio, not a truck! )

This 'little' baby I simply couldn't leave behind ...



I also bought some 'floating plants' for the pond, but, OzzyWoz, has taken them out again (recalcitrant boy! ) and some grasses for my copse end.

 

Oh I really like this!!! is it staked into the ground?

Val

 

No, Val: at least, not yet
I can see a point in time (Autumn!) when he may need some extra 'stamina' to be able to hold his own, so tent pegs will be the order of the day

 

A couple of my purchases from a visit to Wisley.

Corydalis 'China Blue'

 

Excellent! Appropriately startling

I was tempted to get a pair of these, from Chelsea, and snuggle them in amongst some Bamboos to set the scene in my exotic garden

 

i went on the company makers website looking for these, id love them in my garden, but at over £1k for the tall one, i'll have to pass!

 

I wanted the pair ... so I had to pass too!
