Just found the site!

Having just found the site by browsing looking for Garden Centres (!) couldn’t resist joining up having read loads of the fantastic blogs. Haven’t any photo’s to add today due to taking the afternoon off and going out. What else would you do on a day that is overcast, raining and freezing cold but go to a garden centre?
I could sit indoors and sell things on eBay to make some money to buy plants, or I could put on the wax jacket, boots and woolly hat (nearly June) and go to the garden centre and drool over the plants. Having travelled all that way and wasted all that petrol, you just have to justify the expense by buying lots of plants, otherwise it’s a waste!
More to add to the collection waiting to go in the garden, couldn’t resist a Cornus Kousa Chinensis, always wanted one only to find they don’t like our soil being acid lovers. This one will live in a huge pot till it gets too big, then I might have to hire a digger to dig a big hole and fill with compost, couldn’t dig one that big, it takes a pickaxe (literally) to break up a hole big enough for a shrub.
Enough of all that, hopefully tomorrow there will be a break in the clouds enough to take some photo’s and show some of the garden – good and bad.

Welcome to Goy, the answers easy, go stircrazy after three days of the good ole British summertime cos you've once again caught up with the housework, or come onto goy and garden in the armchair with like-minded people...
