    I have been naughty. I am already awaiting a Farmer Gracy order and the other day I told myself I could only order more if my football team won. Well, we lost but I then told myself I needed cheering up so placed another order anyway. In fact, we are about to kick-off again and the chances of winning are bleak. I could be bankrupt soon at this rate  :D. Might need to change allegiance ...  ;) NEVER!

    If only my hubby bought plants when his team lost or even ever!!! All I can say @2000GTV is that I hope your team continues its losing streak cuz your garden will look fabulous! 😁

    @WonkyWomble - well, in that vein and after tonight's drubbing, that's the children's inheritance spent.  ;)

    Anyone got a discount code? Not necessarily Farmer Gracy.  :)

    I wish my OH would buy me plants when his team loses. But hang on a minute, he'd need to buy me a bigger garden to put them in :D

    Hello @2000GTV,

    Scouser here ..... don't suppose your team is Leeds by any chance?

    If it is, I hope you stay up. At least you're trying to play good football.

    Whoops!  Accidentally bought one of these from the garden centre with the compost! 

    I explained to the man who works there that I was resisting them ... and he said if it helped he would tell me to go away, but he doubted that I would take any notice of him. He tried but he was proved to be right 🙄

    Lovely, looking forward to to seeing flower photos in time!

    I bought Nicholas from SR which will arrive as a potted plant in May — looks to have the same colour palette, but a larger plant… I was deciding between it and Crème de Cognac

    Both gorgeous flowers!! 
    Looking forward to seeing them in bloom after some sunshine!
    Really can't reprimand either of you.  I would have done exactly the same!
