Am I a sillee billee?
Got plants galore in GH, in polytunel, under fleece, in conservatory and in pots outside.
Im still buying more....got 4 plants coming on Tuesday and a few more heleniums in the spring. 
So......am I a silly billy? 
I'm sure they will all be accommodated.....well, maybe not! Besides, there is a small queue of vultures here ready to pick my stock. 
Any more sillee billees out there?

ME! Every time I go out i come back with Atleast one more plant, they all get stacked up in my courtyard and have to wait weeks before being taken to my other garden (nans). I had to drill some shelving onto my walls outside it got so bad. Can't help it though. My mum always complains, so I always come back with 'most people on my age spend there money on alcohol, drugs, or fags, think yourself lucky' and it always seems to work
Me too verdun, plants being delivered, cold frame full to bursting, looking at the seed catalogues, planning the hanging baskets and veg plot, no greenhouse so sorting what to buy for outdoor cultivation.
Spending far too much money, but hey, life is short so I'll enjoy it whilst I can.
You are not alone!
OH is always telling me to 'FOCUS!' when we go the garden centre. But I cannot help it! I just love plants! I always manage to find a home for them. Seed Cats are coming through the door, I think the plugs are a bit pricey this year. Still I have my seeds ready for sowing. I have them stashed away in a tin and get them out when no-one is watching! You would think they are top shelf mags I was looking at! Then I get caught, 'FOCUS' comes the cry!
Could not help myself last Sunday and sowed some snapdragons. I looked last night and I have 'babies' Now, I have four months before they can go outside. I'm going to have to make some room on the garage shelf soon. I need to FOCUS!
Before I read the thread, just saw title I thought Yes.
Then I read the thread.
I'm not too bad with seeds but can't stop buying plants and have far too many things in pots. Kept intending to plant in the garden, but don't seem to have any room
Maybe more green stuff aka lawn needs removing..but H says we need to have room to put a gazebo...me thinks a patio with umberellas will suffice. We will see

I do have a tray of snapdragons & some wallflowers germinated in the GH & just a few more things to find a home for.
Including another Fatsia that is 2feet high.
On the topic of the original post, I am trying very hard to resist at the moment but there is so much I would like, bulbs, seeds, plants, tools.....the list is growing. My OH managed to keep avoiding the GC whilst out today, can't think why!!!
Mark 1963 I agree with you. I need to be more focussed on my purchases. I have just planted 4 roses in the garden and have a seed box full to bursting. I think given the amount of seeds I have to plant this year, the greenhouse will be full to bursting!!
Mark & Allium, bet you buy more
You are probably right KEF
. Looks like the borders might need to be expanded a little more!
Tracey, thankyou, that's really kind
Always get embarrassed when I get compliments
