whats a girl to do. the post came this morning… and amongst verious bills (YUK) came a plant brochure type magazine thing!! I had half an hour before we were to leave for Father in laws birthday lunch so had a quiet 5 mins to myself in the greenhouse “tidying up” hmmmmm with the mag

what a diasterous thing to do. I am now so dribbling over lots and lots of shrubs,trees,fruits,bulbs,plug plants
Oh my goodness. All through lunch I was joining in the conversations but in my head I was re arranging verious areas of my garden to fit all the fab things I had spotted. Bye Bye vegie patch hello vineyard hehe

First step is to get a job!!!!

Yes then really I need to pay off various bills!!!

or spend all my hard worked earnings on some fabulous fruit trees and another Japanese acer!!

Just had a thought lottery night tonight….fingers crossed

My Parkers catalogue went in straight in the recycle bin, the garden is bulging already with homeless things in pots, so trying to stay away from temptation. How strong willed is that!! ....well not so strong really as I had some very disappointing Pennisetum from them earlier this year and have decided to stick to garden centres.

I had a Parkers catalogue too, and that went straight in the recycle bin, for reasons I won't mention here. I'm going to try the GoY garden centre this time. I don't need much but they seem to have all I want at very reasonable prices.

am sure what I saw can also be found elsewhere but will behave until I have a job
