Always carry a large bag!

Always carry a large bag!

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!

And just where did your sticky fingers get this from?

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)

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!
