haha, my name is Susan, and I am also a plantaholic!! I took my friend to buy paint in Homebase the other night and warned her to keep me from the plants. I came home with the most beautiful dahlia, the leaves are almost black and the flowers are cerise pink....it was too beautiful to resist
Resistance is futile!
I can't stop buying/saving/cadging and sowing seed. Is there any hope?
In the sticks near Peterborough
We are all doomed to have beautiful if not over crowded gardens!
But at least we are all in good company!
Think your idea is the best Nut! I'm onto seeds now so I don't have to mortgage my soul!
Well I saw clematis reduced today, Lupins for 4 quid in 2Lt pots, pink Salvias and orange Cannas but I resisted them all because I really am down to that nitty gritty job of finding things to match and merge and bring all the LOOK AT ME plants I have together. ..so perhaps I'm not a plantaholic after all
Its slips from friends gardens for me. I keep getting them and being given them and they are beautiful. Ah ha! maybe that's why I have no official planting scheme
Well am I proud of myself!
went and collected my Velcro and didn't even set foot in the garden centre bit! And walked straight past 3 trollies of bedding plants! 
......unfortunately I have run out of Velcro and need some more. Don't know if I can resist a second time in one day.....
maybe leave it until tomorrow, or go to Dun elm mill for the Velcro, but then it would be double the money and I would think I could have spent the extra on plants.........
Haha Verdun! I can relate to impatience, I'm very good at it!
Dove will back me on this!
Haha Pinklily! That is exactly what I'm like! And I don't drive so I carry them all home!
haven't gone shopping with the wheelbarrow yet! But wished I had many a time!
My name is Yvie and I am a plantaholic. The only way I can see me 'in recovery' is if they close Ashwood Nursery and cancel the internet, otherwise it's a lost cause.
