Didn't shop quite as much as Stacey at crocus - but am very pleased with my (odd numbers of) veronicastrum fascination, knautia macedonia, heuchara sweettea, and a dierama to try. All things that have been on my list for a while, so not impulse buys. Told OH that, and he wants to see my list and exactly how long it is (fears 2nd mortgage may be required). I had to explain list is in my head, and is not really that long
He came home with grasses - karl forster and some clumpy ones. He hasn't got a list, so they WERE impulse buys .... Tut tut
Dove - ouch - more than chocolate required I think
I don't know why we worry about spending lots on our gardens - look at what other people spend on shoes and jewellery and clothes....well that's how I justify it!
Brought my washing in - felt it was time as my trousers flew past me while I was sawing wood....it's a bit windy here
Cup of tea and a quick look round then back out for painting and other 'stuff'. Getting the coping thingies on my raised beds.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Wow you've all been having fun except Dove and me.
Dove you harbour wildlife and do your best and what happens? Hope it eases soon, I'd need more than a cuppa.
OL glad son home ok and has missed you
Chicky great to cross stuff off your wanted list Impulse buying and having input into plants I don't take my undergardener in case he gets ideas. Said in a Nora Batty voice.
Now Mrs Posh..wot you like Stacey ? Showing us up when we have our old furniture stashed in the shed Sounds & looks like you've got some great things, I am not envious at all
Nothing wrong here, just been kneeling down & weeding for ages and planning what to put where from the stuff I need to plant. At least I wasn't attacked by a Q wasp
Afternoon Looks like some have had some shopping fun, nice buys Stacey. I too have envy 3 butler sinks OL! Gosh! Lily'll be proper green with envy
Dove, OUCH! But what a lovely lady you are to put the kettle on for your OH.
Fairy, flying trousers! Wow, that must be some breeze!!
Well, I brought some new, lighter pots for my new display tower and a jumper My new hose turned up this morning before I left, and I came home to a new wooden planter Bought one for a friend for her birthday, liked it so much I bought one for myself
Panda - I had to laugh but once I started painting I felt it was wise to take the washing down. Don't think daughter would fancy black stripes on her new red jammies!
and why are you displaying your jumper in a pot....

I don't "see" you as becoming frail, the journeys you've done in snow to hospital etc. Maybe Mrs.Bill is feeling very vulnerable and elderly after your tragic loss. She might feel different when you get some good weather, I hope so. Can't imagine you moving where you have no garden.
I'm going to be blunt here, excuse is I'm a Yorkshire lass It's got to be joint decision, if you have no garden and activity outdoors won't that have a bigger impact on you both? Gardener's moan about aches & pains but we feel so good after achieving something outside.
If you do move can't you take your lilies with you?
You spent plant dosh on a jumper !! even worse Summer is coming. Suppose will let you off you can't go to work looking like I look in the garden..would anyone Jeans tucked in socks and one of OH's fleeces, not a good look. LOL.

No luck! He's on his way home. He can make the cuppa then - I'll put the kettle on so it's hot when he arrives
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ouch Dove - poor finger
Wonderful orchids Bill.
