We decided to go out for lunch today,and try somewhere different… not too good,so won’t be going again…now,where shall we go now ? ..OH suggested a garden centre..:o),so off we went..ooh,so much on offer…but I resisted..how good is that? .mmm,don’t want to go home yet..so toddled off to the farm shop tearoom,round the corner..and had a nice coffee..and is that homemade coffee cake I see? ..It certainly was..but I wasn’t greedy,and we shared a piece..a big piece!.First temptation rule broken..but as lunch wasn’t brilliant…any excuse.!…so,on the way home,we decided to call in at the Supermarket,for a few bits,you understand..oh,dear..they have now got a proper little garden centre outside,instead of just inside the entrance..Shall I look? ..just a quick peep then..ooh,I like that..and that..and you know how we keep saying they just happen to fall into your trolley.?.Second temptation rule gone out of the window..here is what I bought..
Aquilegia…Spring Magic..
Photinia,Red Robin..its only small,but I will have the pleasure of watching it grow..
how can you not be tempted,at £2 each ?
A good day out,after all :o))

30 Apr, 2011
Ohhhh! Lovely plants, fab prices! It would have been rude to leave them behind!! ;0)
30 Apr, 2011
Thanks Libet..I think a lot of us have been buying our plants from this Supermarket..and they are much better looked after,than some other places too..
30 Apr, 2011
Well done Sandra. Lovely plants. I can't go to a garden centre and come out without buying. Going tomorrow....Get behind me Satan.....I haven't got room for any more, Haven't got room for what I've got now.
30 Apr, 2011
This made me laugh,Cinders...you little devil!..and neither have I :o)
30 Apr, 2011
Excellent Bloomer - we need to treat ourself whenever possible !!! Temptation is always to much for me :)
30 Apr, 2011
Lol,Paul..you are one of the best at this temptation lark,..plantwise ,I mean ! .We are all sinners together..:o))
30 Apr, 2011
:D oh yes
30 Apr, 2011
GOYS..Grows on You Sinners..Lol...

I blame the supermarket trolley's myself, they wobble over to the plants and then they get stuck!! Lovely plants B. great value. I think you were very good to share your cake, (I wouldnt have!!!) he he. :~)

i think they have magnetised the trolleys so the plants cant help themselves they just succumb to the irresistable pull!!
1 May, 2011
Certainly do Sticki!! Lol.
1 May, 2011
Yes I've noticed it too :) There's nothing that can be done about it I'm afraid !
1 May, 2011
you sinner sandra lol dont blame you i feel tempted but going away and dont want anything to die while away if this heat and wind carry on, aqualigea looks a bit like the dwarf one i have near my pond, lovely colour :o)
1 May, 2011
Love both your plants, what suppermarket was it that had GC outside.
1 May, 2011
I think you have hit the nail on the head,Grandmage..my trolley was a real wobbler :o)..so,you wouldn't have shared your cake then ? mmm,not meeting you for coffee .Lol...not even a teeny bit ? I bet you would:o))
Sticki..they even had a till outside,in the plant area,which I have never seen before..and I'm sure the cashier had a magnet attached to it.!.Lol
it was the same one you go to Hywel..watch out ! :o)
Thanks San,two Sandra sinners..has a nice ring to it,don't you think ? Lol.I know what you mean about going away,as we go in two weks too,and I am going to have to plant everything out,as no one to look after them...I may need another magnetic trolley,when I get back..:o((
thank you,Clarice,it is good old Morrison's..they have had some great plants this year.I don't know if all their stores are doing it..this is quite a big one..They were really busy,and such a good idea,to be able to pay outside,as it keeps the queues down too,inside the shop..
1 May, 2011
i shall have a look round here ~ they only had a small shelf area a few weeks ago ~ inside.
1 May, 2011
That is usually what ours is like,Sticki..but still just as tempting..:o)
1 May, 2011
Bloomer, I would share really, honest!! Well I would think about it! Our Morries have got some great plants, it is only a small branch but their plant section is wonderful. I purchased my geraniums there last week 12 for £3. and they are corkers.
1 May, 2011
i hope your plants are ok while away sandra, maybe it will rain by then, will a neighbour water them for you?
1 May, 2011
Sandra like me you have commited one of the deadly Sins "Temptation" but I am going to the GC on Wednesday just need compost and maybe I just might stray a little, just a couple of plants to grow up the obilisk Harry made me, and a few for the my giant Pot wihch I have moved to a more prominent place, and I dont think I better go on holiday as my plants will not survive without me for a full 7 days lol
1 May, 2011
We can't resist can we ? I should have waited till I came back,really..the mind is weak ! Lol..I think we should take a very long hose pipe with us on holiday..:o)).I might be cheeky,and ask one of my younger neighbours..a mere young thing in her sixties..Lol..to pop round ,or take some of them round to her house,as don't really want to risk planting the Dahlias yet.She is very good,and a keen gardener..so I might be in luck..I have another two weeks yet,so will wait a bit,and see what the forecast is..just you see,it will be pouring down,when I want to plant the other things out.!
2 May, 2011
Yes, Im going to plant all my seedling plants out the week before we go, either they will die of cold or lack of water or the Slugs will eat them all upm, think I will have to cancel the holiday lol
2 May, 2011
You can still go,Carole..I'm sure Harry would forego the holiday,to look after them for you..Sorry we wouldn't be able to take him out for lunch..we won't be here either ! Lol...Sorry,Harry,you are needed at home :o)
2 May, 2011
With Harry looking after them, they are certainly doomed lol
2 May, 2011
Probably best that he goes with you then..Lol.
2 May, 2011
;0)
2 May, 2011
You really did well with your bargains, Bloomer. I am resisting buying anything more until our garden is ready to be planted up with the borders installed...watering all my pots that are waiting with plants in them to get into the borders and they never seem to do as well as in the ground.
I hope we get some rain for you before you go away so you will find everything thriving on your return :)
3 May, 2011
I think we are all waiting for a good shower,at least..it's getting very wearing, watering every day.....and every bowl of washing up water,for each shrub in its turn..Lol..but nothing has wilted yet..
3 May, 2011
Have you no self control at all, Sandra? lol! You'll love the 'Spring Magic' Aquilegia, I have that one too and it just flowers on and on all Summer. The Photinia will soon be growing up into a big fat Red Robin! I think you need to change your choice of supermarket, you obviously can't be trusted to walk past the plants . . . . .
7 May, 2011
Nope,Shirley..!Lol...just like you,my dear..That's good to know about the Aquilegia,I really like it.The others I have,were given to me ages ago,but are a bit nondescript..so will be getting rid, this year..this one has renewed my interest :o).I hope the Photinia will grow into a fat one,and it looks like I will have to stop eating..or send Russell shopping .Lol.
