Took delivery of my jungle!!

He most certainly is!!! I have friends who wouldn't offer what sal offered!! Very nice and thoughtful guy!

 

Wow that's AMAZING!! It looks super Al!! You've really done loads of hard work and it's paid off massively. Maybe you and Sal should start a gardening business together!

 

Thanks for all the lovely positive feedback, knowing that others like it too makes it even more worthwhile

 

Top Draw Choices As Ever Al

 

al what a change you have made to your garden I to you!
Looks a absolute treat now.
The little one looks as chuffed as you do!
Also well done to sal too

 

Thanks mowgley, nice for you to say so!

 

The little fella loves helping me in the garden, has his own gardening gloves and everyfink.....

 

No, but I blame sal!!

 

John , I payed a tiny musa from Lidl , £4 , if you read the post I`ve ordered 3 , 3 feet bananas at £4 each , but he end up with 10 banana plants 7 musa and 3 musella , at £1.20 each .

You made that thread so good that i could not resist to go and buy one ......tell us the trust you own Lidl

 

John guess a price for
1 Yucca
1 dicksonia antartica
7 musa
3 musella
4 chomaerops cerifera (1 feet hight)
1 chomaerops (see the picture)
4 x almost 6/8 feet tall bamboo
3 japanese bamboo 4/5 feet high
2 astelia chathamica 'silver spear'
look at the picture for the size

and a delivery from Bedford to wirral about 190 miles

 

It most certainly is! The musas had a normal retail price on the pots of £7.99, ( the same as what I paid recently for one)

I noticed the DA had an original price of £300, ( I don't know the price of these in that size, but I did notice a garden centre locally had one smaller at over £250.)

Figure in the price of delivery, it's very cheap indeed, it would have cost over £50 alone just in diesel in a mates van, plus a bottle of something for letting me borrow it. Then the 8 hour round trip.......

 

Plus a monkey puzzle tree, around a foot high.
