It was just a quick visit in passing..so why didn’t I go straight in the Supermarket,buy the nappies..for Thomas..in case you were wondering ! ..instead of veering to the left ,to the garden centre bit ? It must be a magnetic pull of some kind..as I was dragged over to these..against my will,you understand :o)
A Lobelia ‘Fan Scarlet’ and an Astilbe ..which says on the label..Astilbe chinensis var.pumila ..(dwarf chinese ) only £2 each !
Oh ,and also bought six more Pelargoniums..!..well there was so much room in the boot of the car,thought I might as well :o)

Lucky you, I'm banned at the moment because of our holiday next month - but there's still the visit to the Tatton Flower Show at the end of the month -the ban will just have to be lifted for one day lol.

mine was geranium pratense hocus pocus,i had only enough change in my purse for the loaf of bread we had gone out for.but I have been looking for one of these for some time now. Who can say no to that lovely dark foliage so twisted hubbys armfor the money to get it (and promised him steak for tea) then had to nip down on my bike at tea time to get potatoes. you know how minor things just fly out of your head when a special plant comes in sight

I have the answer to how to resist, a very grumpy hubby, (not really his fault as he leaves for work at 12.45pm) waiting outside in the car, hungry and tired is not a good combination, I have time to browse when I go on my own, lol....
12 Jul, 2011
Well you can't just buy one cos it would wobble over in the boot, that's the reason we have to buy several plants at a time.
12 Jul, 2011
You can always say the magnetic field of the earth has moved that would be a good excuse they look great Sandra I m still laughing.
12 Jul, 2011
Dragged there against your will ... lol Yes I believe that - it happens to me aswell ;o))
I don't put up much resistance either :D
13 Jul, 2011
Even luckier you Kfunsters..going to Tatton..every year I say I want to go..maybe next year !
Verbascum..a girl after my own heart..:o).Hope your hubby enjoyed his steak ..and Potato's ! Food always wins them over .Lol.
That is a good enough reason,Lincslass..luckily mine doesn't mind..but then again he doesn't have to work anymore..and I don't drive,so I need him ! Lol.
Exactly what I thought Sticki..and the nappies for Thomas cushioned them nicely .:o)
Lol,6d..strangely enough,there was a beautiful full moon last night..so that must have been it ! :o)
Its true Hywel..would I tell porkies to you ? Lol. I wonder if it's because I am left handed, it makes me veer to the left..?..at Morrison's anyway..:o)

I'm just the same, Bllomer - seems like a magnet is pulling you towards them doesn't it ? I did very well this week though, as I looked at some plants in Asda and didn't actually buy one - how good is that ?
13 Jul, 2011
I always think it's silly not to look when you are in there, such brilliant bargains. I resisted the Lobelia yesterday Bloomer but came out with Salvia sensation deep blue at £2.00. Love that shop!
13 Jul, 2011
you are too good to be true,Mariek...how I wish I had your willpower Lol.
I agree Annella..ooh,I never saw that one...maybe I should call in again,when just casually passing...:o))...need some bleach.! Lol.
13 Jul, 2011
Oh it must be that. I am mostly left handed aswell :o))
13 Jul, 2011
The Lobelia ended up in my trolley as well Bloomer, earlier this year I got one of there summer bulb collection's reduced to £1 50p and it is coming along a treat, (10 gladioli, 10 acidanthera and 1 dahlia in burgundy and white)
13 Jul, 2011
We have something else in common then Hywel,as well as GoY.I was told many years by a gypsy..the ones who used to come round selling pegs..remember them? ..that if you are left handed,however hard up you are,something will always turn up..and it has always been true in my case..coincidence maybe,but it always stuck in my mind..and I can be quite cynical at times..Lol.
It's great isn't it? such good value..I am looking forward to it flowering...Glad your others are coming on well.My Acidantheras are growing well,but I believe they flower later in the summer..so just looking at strappy leaves yet..some of them a bit ragged with the strong winds !
13 Jul, 2011
Yes Bloomer still just leaves but good healthy looking one's and the dahlia has some bud's.
13 Jul, 2011
Redeem yourself by thinking of the extra points on your store card, Sandra ... Ooh, points make prizes don't they? More plants soon then : o ))
13 Jul, 2011
That would be great,if I had a store card Shirley..but I haven't got one..are you thinking of another Supermarket,where I used to work ? ..too dear there ! Lol.
13 Jul, 2011
That's exactly what I was thinking, Sandra! : o ))
13 Jul, 2011
The thought was there,my dear..just the wrong one Lol ! :o))
13 Jul, 2011
Sandra, I've just posted a blog as I need HELP please! Are you able to assist me? : o ))
13 Jul, 2011
on my way Shirley..don't go anywhere !!
