Inspired by Terratoonie's blog on how we acquire our plants, I dug this out of an old album. My husband took it as evidence, should he ever need to turn me in!

Caught in the act with your swag bag ?
Stolen fruit ?
Do you mean that my blog inspired you to venture into criminal activities ??? :o)

This was from a long time ago when we were dating, we used to like visiting stately homes around England. Can't say where I was, secret!

All flora has evolved to be propagated by nature eg insects, wind, animal digestion, sticky fingered humans.......

I always seem to take a larger than necessary camera bag with me when visiting gardens. Can't think why ...LOL

Gillian, I have been pondering about this subject all morning, is guerrilla propagation really a bad thing as long as only small cuttings or seeds are liberated. I am going to start the GOY Liberation Front and it my mission to lift a twig of lavender from a neighbours garden under the cover of darkness. I promise I have never done this before but someone has been liberating cuttings from my garden similar to TT's. As I mentioned in my earlier mail I know the plants would be delighted.

I would never take seeds or cuttings unless the plant was thriving, plentiful and not a rare species. I don't think I am upsetting the balance of nature too greatly.

There is a piece of ground past my back fence which is not really mine.
I've made it into a pretty border and it is officially called my Guerilla Garden.
Though I've not yet managed to grow many Gorillas :o)

Good, if I am caught I can sight my 2 mentors ;-)

Don't steal my gorillas :o)

Couple of houses back we backed onto greenbelt (which you're not supposed to do anything with) but there was a bit of a slope so I made a wildflower rockery.

I bet your guerilla rockery looked lovely.
Did you take a photo?

What a favorite! Nostalgic and that 'Oh, that reminds me of picking up a...' feeling. When the plant is just sitting there offering itself..... :-)

Not sure where my picture is TT, I'll have to take a look. What was worse about this was the fact that the house we were renting had a pool, which needed to be backwashed periodically, creating quite a flow of water going out behind the house, and I actually created a 'stream bed' winding through my rockery for the water to flow down!
