Garden Centres – love them or hate them ….

Hi welcome to GOY.

Hi welcome to GOY. Your blog is very interesting thanks for sharing. It also brought back a couple of good memories from Easter when we were visiting relatives in Clonmel, we went around a few places that sell plants and garden stuff and the one place we liked was a place called 'Woodies' a D.I.Y. store mostly but, like B&Q, with a garden centre attached.

You dont have to be a canny Scot to like a bargain we all like to find one,your little prince looks a handsome chap and so proud of his plant so mummy better look after it properly,you`ll have to let us know what it turns out to be,lol,enjoy your gardening.........

The little prince looks very proud of his plant :o)

Have you got a 'secret' bit of garden where you could start off a couple more pumpkins - then if 'little prince's' fails for any reason you can replace it without him knowing.
PS - welcome to GOY.

Hi Wagger thanks for your idea that is a lovely idea - unlike my husbands idea when the "little prince" was growing a water melon - after two weeks of the thing getting taller but still no sign of fruit himself (my hubby) went out and bought a watermelon and plonked it on top of the pot - needless to say I had a very happy young man the following morning !!! He was delighted however has still not showed any signs of becoming a budding gardener My husband says he will tell him about the watermelon around the same time as we disclose the truth about Santa and the easter bunny !!

DON'T!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!! You can't break the magic! I just hope you removed the sticker off the watermelon before you plonked it on his plant!

what do you meen 'tell him about santa and the easter bunny' ? I hope you're not one of these disbelievers....HeHe.
You'll be telling me there's no such thing as fairies next!!!!!!

whats happened to Santa?

of course I believe and there is surely fairies in my garden as I can see every morning that they have had there dinner - hence the holes in my hostas !!! And truth is Mac Santa is a lazy git and it is really the elves that make all the toys

ohhh!!!!!!

NOoooooooooooooo, I'm not listening, I've got my fingers in my ears, la lalala lala.
Its really hard to type with your elbows.......
H & K's to all...............Ian

Bit behind on my comment but just perusing other folk's blogs and pics in between listing stuff on ebay - got to do that to pay for the 'garden stuff'!

Noticed you had added me as favourite - thank you, I will repay the favour shortly - and thought this was a great blog and rather typical of me.

Being a complete, only been at it a few months, novice, I now can't walk around a garden centre or other, without buying something to plant, plant in, feed the wildlife with or,.....something to plant!! Oh, and quirky ornaments are always good as well!

Look forward to reading more :0)-

Thanks for you coment OB - did my rounds again this morning can't help myself posted some photos too

Lol! Me too! We went for more bark for the pond area - update #3 later - and cam eawy with a little more.....again!!

They're evil places that entice you in and then throw nature's temptations in your way....I love it...I AM SO EVIL!!!!

Lol! We rally pleased with the pond and how it's coming on.Will look at your pics later as I need to eat now - a late lunch after working in the garden!!
