Unfortunately Longk, I am in London - nowhere near Oxford - but thanks for the offer

Off to the dump then

 

I've got some of the orange you could have to , but Lincolnshires probably too far away as well.

I love thoses Giraffes Kristen every time we go to any garden shows OH has to go look at them thought one would look nice among the trees in our little wood, trouble is its a bit near the main road, we've had a whole laurel hedge stolen once so don't think I'd dare risk it if we could ever afford one

 

:(

Replace with Berberis or Pyracantha? ... or a machine gun emplacement?

 

Freddi I've just been to check you haven't been in my garden those plants look familiar, very nice

 

Done Kristen, there was a fence they had to climb over to steal it so now the fence has barbed wire ooops think that might be illegal, and a very nice prickly rambling rose over the top just to be sure

 

Nah, you can put a warning sign up "Beware Barb Wire"

 

From the cannygardener website, 20x penstemon navigator, 20x echinacea Cheyenne spirit and lucky dip of 40 begonia pink bronze.

Just have to find time to pot them on! :-)
Plus on the way home, I popped into b&q and got 125 litres of mpc, 50 litres of horse manure and a jumbo Levingtons tomato grow bag, all for £8.50, due to split bags. Bargain! :-)

 

I bought a new lawnmower . The Bosch Ergoflex http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Ergoflex-Cordless-Lawnmower-Batteries/dp/B004GTMNZQ and would heartily recommend it. Since I`m heading off on my travels again, my beloved will be cutting the grass and got this for her. Soooo much better in every way to my petrol mower. Lighter, easier to handle, hold more grass and actually leaves stripes on your lawn.
Lovely piece of kit.

 

I must stop going to the plant stall on the local market
I try to avoid it because I keep telling myself I don't need anymore
Not bad for £8 though
Acer butterfly, lysimachia ciliate firecracker, houttuynia Cordata chameleon and heuchera marvellous marble

 

Lovely mate!

The houttiynia chameleon is very invasive though dude, I put mine in a planter as I didn't want it taking over the garden. I have the same heuchera as well, lovely colour foliage that!

 

Couldn't resist this Acer P Phoenix at Morrisons for £10 as it was such a good specimen.

 

I bought another Acer from Morrisons yesterday as well - good value

I've just treated myself to a couple of Lilacs (gawd knows where I'm going to put them).

I bought:

Syringa vulgaris Primrose
Syringa vulgaris Sensation.

 

Oh I know this feeling SOOOO well!!!!!
