Cheese Shopping, It's Dangerous, You Know!!!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away..
Nah, thats no’ right! Start again!
Yesterday I paid my doc a visit, & came away quite happy! According to him, I am no longer nuts (I’m a good actress)!
Anyway, I was doing my usual, not looking where I was going, when I spotted these little beauties!
They were growing on wasteland beside the railway!
so I took myself to the shops to buy some goats cheese, & bought …..
a Red Camellia
2 Heuchera (Melting Fire)
An Alchemilla Mollis, I call it Lady’s Mantle!
Some Thyme, we all need gardening Thyme!!
and a Pieris (Forest Flame)
As if that wasn’t profligate enough, someone saw me with the plants & told me about a great bargain in another shop! HMMMM! I needed fruit & veg anyway, so……
Yep! More plants!
this time I came out with ………
a Clematis Warsaw Nike
a Clematis Multi-Blue
and a cranberry bush!
AND my food shopping, let’s not forget that!!
So now my arms ache (I don’t drive!)
BUT, I don’t stop there! I go into another shop, & come out with the biscuits I went in for AND ……..
an unnamed lily
Some growing lettuce (!!!)
And a funny looking garlic called Allium (that’s garlic to me) Ampeloprasum!
So today (I put them in the shade & gave them a drink when I got home, it was WAY too hot to plant them out) I decided to sort them out!
Right you lot! line up! No straggling, mind!
You! Blue! Get over by the shed!
And the rest of you, just gio to bed!
So that was that, & I had a quick look round.
Of course I was properly attired for gardening (??!!)
These two look very friendly! Ive separated them several times but you turn around, & they’re at it again!
But poor Bella Begonia has sunburn!
I’ve taken her back into the house to recuperate.
so that’s the tale of my impulse buys. I hope they were good ones!

Lots of nice plants. More interesting than food lol
9 Aug, 2009
Nice blog and lots of plants to boot! Can't fault it.
Think you need 2nd opinion from another doctor tho! :0)~
9 Aug, 2009
That's the trouble with supermarkets these days - they've all started to sell tempting plants! How on earth did you carry all that lot home...with your shopping?
9 Aug, 2009
I gave up when I added the lily, coudn't carry anymore so I got a taxi Spritz!
I did get a 2nd opinion, OB! Ther were 2 of them there!!
Yes, the plants are more interesting than food Hywel! But I dId remember to get my Somerset goats cheese!

Well if youve got to be a compulsive shopper its got to be better than a close full of shoes..lol
nice plants M love the clems.
9 Aug, 2009
That's the thing Indy! Up til a few weeks ago, I would've been buying shoes! Last week I went out for shoes & came back with lights for the garden!!!!!
I love the clems too. Fantastic colours! The blue is just about to give me more flowers AND some seeds!

Hee hee! I could do with a little more "withering", or maybe I should ATTEMPT to have a go on the bike I was just given! Haven't been on one for years, but they say it's just like riding a bike!!!!!!!!!!! :~)D
9 Aug, 2009

Hee hee! the walk I take (if you don't cut off to the river) starts on a tarmac-ed path that goes for miles, so I'm told! There are always cyclists out there! And it shoulb be simple enough & maybe I won't get lost!!!!
