Like Yviestevie I have got good at hiding newbies! I brought a few for new bed and had them on the patio ready and waiting for oh to make new bed and what I have been doing is adding to them and pushing them right up close to each other and as they are all blue and white theme they have gone un noticed!
I don't know how hubby managed to notice those two new plants I bought. He informed me today that our new neighbours had put up a pergola. I then informed him that it had been there for the 6 years we have lived in this house.
Help everyone, not sure who my sponsor is but my Plantaholicism is rearing it's head again. I keep getting catalogues through the post and it's raining so the internet is beckoning.
I don't need any more bulbs, I don't need any more bulbs, I don't need.................
I've been bulb shopping because of the rain too...
I was kind of forced into it as I noticed one of the suppliers was running out of an Allium I wanted
To prevent me buying anymore I added up how many bulbs I will have to plant: 241 Plus another 150 free bulbs with an order. I hate planting bulbs, just like the result...Oh, also have a sackful of tulips in the shed
To cheer myself up I made a nice list of plants I want from a couple of nurseries I've not tried before. Plants are much easier than bulbs anyway
I bought a Prim White hydrangea paniculata and a white rose Europa Nostrum because they were on half price offer when I went to get compost. 4 wee trays of veg and salad plugs also leapt into teh trolley along with the last echinacea and some coreopsis in the reduced perennials display.......... I already have several white forms of hydrangea paniculata but at €5 how's a girl to resist?
In about 3 weeks, my local supermarket will start stocking bulbs. They do excellent value packs of mini daffs, mini tulips (the big tall ones don't grow here) and assorted alliums and nectarospordums and so on. I find lots of those in my grocery bags every year.

It been raining here all day as well, so been down to town to the bank to put money in , had a quick look in B&M to see if they have recovered their plant stock after my last visit, they had Heleniums in last time which was a huge shock to me so I took the lot ( I was only going in for mouth wash )unfortunately this visit they had no more live plants of interest.
Back home bored had me inching to have a quick look online . Four hours later it looks like I am going to be a proud owner of a Baptisia australis - Monarda B of cobham - japenese Anemone queen charlotte - campanula pritchards good job I went to the bank
I holding out bulb buying until September except for them 100 Alliums I bought last week they don't count
Perki, oooh, do you garden centers and nurseries sell mouth wash where you live then. Had a few plants delivered yesterday, Agastache (=the peach coloured shorter one, Erygium, Acanthus, and Acillea Pomegranite It rained till afternoon, then I got out and planted because we are on clay. The veg plot (which isnt clay!) Hubby covered up my maincrop spuds which were peeking through, and said guess what, after 9 inches of rain (1 months worth in one day) (village outside Eastbourne) a couple of inches down it was still BONE DRY! Just got back from the beach and Airshow, guy narrating Red Arrows said, they had come from \Biggin Hill, where it was cold and cloudy, well, we were cooked on the beach! At least I wont have to water tonight!
