Has anyone else ever had plants turn up planted in their garden that they were thinking of getting? 

Was thinking of growing some comfrey,  it appears. 

Thinking of planting a clematis in my hedge, there it appears pretty much right where I wanted it.

    I've had plants turning up that I wasn't thinking of getting. Where did the vinca that's going mad come from? Acanthus mollis just appeared, but I like it. It must have been planted here a long time ago because the garden was a farmyard once. It wasn't here at first. Also Phlomis just turned up. Quite a big clump now.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Well I never though about getting a Chinese quince (Chaenomoles cathayensis) but it arrived anyway! Much taller than the more common Chaenomeles japonica.  Lethal thorns on it so I need to tie it back from the path or it will do major damage to any passing human. The fruit makes lovely quince type jelly and cheese though image.

    Nowt to do with me I'm afraid fidget - if I was that good I'd have my whole garden done by now image

    Steephill -  you can send that jaggy quince to me- I have just the place for it.....several in fact!

    Verdun doesn't plant stuff- he just eats any fruit that's about - he's a very greedy boy....he's even been in my fridge.

    or is that my children...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
