Bought two orchids for £8 the pair today.........................

 

The orchids look really nice, LongK . £8 for the pair? That's a very good price. Where did you get them? Maybe I'll go a buy some as well.

 

From a small independent nursery close by.....................

 

Shame there are not many of independent shops - nurseries, DIYs, general stores ... left any more.

Dianella tasmanica Tas Red - which I had been planning on buying seed from Oz / New Zealand for ... but not got around to. Slightly unusual find "out & about" I thought


berries should look like this:

Val - if you look at base of the plant you might find it's several smaller plants (usually four per pot on the ones I've bought). They can be separated out as they have their own root systems and will soon bush out. Several plants for the price of one

My latest purchase - four 90L containers for £7.50 each

 

I have some of that on my gravel "bank" it`s really struggling , I might go and get it out see if it fares better out the front.

 

We're quite lucky to have six within a twenty minute drive here. Forty five minutes gets us to Cotswold Garden Flowers. Sadly Hill House Nursery is two and a half hours minimum!!!

The whole garden is new really it was just bare soil and weeds two weeks ago

Thank you I have done it all my self I've been starting at half seven in the morning and working until dark when I moved in to the house the garden was a concrete slab with 3 garages at the bottom so this had to go so I pulled all that down and had to get 150 tonnes of top soil in then I left it for the winter to settle and then 2 was ago went for it
