Nah! Not this time!

I'm in a state of shock !

 

[alp]

We certainly need you on the forum. So funny, @Upsy Daisy !

Wonder if Johnny has gone to bed.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Gee thanks @alp

 

[johnny canoe]

Thanks alp, I'll google monkey puzzle tree.
"...gone to bed."
Not at 9:55am.

 

[johnny canoe]

I absolutely love the look of the Monkey Puzzle tree but it would never survive the winters here.

I also bought one spiral Thuja Emerald (Smaragd) for a tenner. Like this

Miracot for a tenner - cross between mirabelle and apricot

A standard of variegated ivy.

A rose Arthur Bell for a tenner AGM

Hope it's going to be like this

That's great and thanks.I'm never good at cuttings. I got some seedlings growing but take a long time to grow into good plants.

Greatest bargain of all--Free! A lady at the hair salon is moving to an assisted living home, and is selling off some of her belongings. Because I had given her eggs and vegetables in the past, she put all, and I mean ALL of her garden tools in the trunk of her car and gave them to me! I tried to pay her, but she refused, saying they were old tools, some of them her mother's, and she wanted to know they would be taken care of and used. I was flabbergasted, and touched.

That lady is going to have bouquets of roses, baskets of tomatoes, and a card at every holiday. Can you believe the generosity?

That's because you're such a nice person. I wouldn't be surprised. I love old tools as the quality is usually much more superior. And you feel the love when you are using it ..

 

[alp]

I have a box for £10, a heather called whiteness for 50p and a primrose for £1.99. The last one is not cheap, but I have been hunting for it.

Also a 1.5 foot tall ceanothus for £2!

And a credit card bill for £450 again! So NO more gardening outside until the end of the month!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Woweeeeee!!!!! I'm in love with that Primrose @alp.....worth every penny

 

[alp]

Upsy: Saw this last year and was unwilling to pay for it. This year, I just couldn't find it until today. There are so many pretty ones there. That's really a superb nursery, especially when they have clearance. £2 for a ceanothus is a bargain. It's quite big. Any way, you won't see any more bargain within 14 days. Credit card is for FOOD only.

Just the tyres and passport cost me £200 plus...

That's really nice of her and they'll be treasured.
