Goodness that is a bit steep Nanny Beach - even with freight charges and VAT that is either on or off we still wouldn't pay that much for a Rose or hydrangea. You can't beat the local nursery for good value for money.
Do you think it's because both those plants are widely grown, so there's a big demand, so they charge more.....
Utterly ridiculous anyway.
I've been doing 'stuff' outside since it's actually been dry this morning. Mostly constructing to finish the new border, but a bit of hacking and slashing too.
Gathered up the huge bundle of sweet peas which had been battered by the weather, and hoiked them up a bit. All deadheaded and loads of flowers still to come. Quite satisfying.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I dont know, I think folk go there for a "day out" lunch, scented candles, fleeces!! Got 3 anemones, white, light and slightly darker pink, in nursery, run by local Husband and Wife team, and know what they are talking about. Ooooh, Fairygirl, hacking and slashing (isnt that against the law!!) I would have though popular plants widely grown should be cheaper.Got them planted, done some watering.
just popped in for a coffee break. I have been hacking and slashing too like fairy in my lovely bramble corner! Then I weeded my gravel bed And dug up more "big mistake nepetas ". I am now going to go and plant some new plants in there
Went out at 7, dispatched some slugs, deadheaded. We had steady rain yesterday afternoon, so thought I would get some winter salad, and chard plugs in well, a couple of inches down, it was BONE DRY, as were my concrete tubs in my front garden. Cleared weeds from veg patch ready for above, perishing slugs have scoffed my special poppies, and winter kale. Pumpkins finally coming along, picked large bowl of toms, french dwarf and runner beans.
They just ate the little seedlings I find once stuff is a decent size they dont bother, have made up some nice tasty beer for them! Last year had fantastic kale, then fantastic "cabbage whites" inspite of relly fine guage netting.

NBeach, I now grow winter kale in large pots at back door. No slug problem and easy to access on a wet day.
