done it again!

As mentioned in my last blog we visited the GC again last night to get another of the aster’s we got last week. Well we did get one, well actually it was two but whose counting, but then strangely a few other bargain plants found their way into the trolley!

we ended up with 6 clearance plants for just £2 each. 2 were asters, which look lovely next to a white rose i bought last week. We also got another Dahlia Kelvin Floodlight, which having ‘googled’ it looks like it will have massive yellow flower heads next year. Then we spotted another Dahlia, Polka. Really made up with this one as it looks to have a yellow centre with white petals tinged with pink. Cant wait for next summer it will look spectacular, all for just £2 each!!!! :0)

Oh and i got a salvia icing sugar and a rose bush called emmerdale which apparently is highly scented.

So as you can see i’m chuffed to bits with my bargains.

Obviously all these plants needed pots (they are all going in the courtyard area for now), so we got a few of those, and then hubby to my surprise saw a phormium and asked if i liked it. Well thats like asking a duck does it quack!.

i did, but having seen the price of it – £32 (though it is a good size) – i said it was nice and walked off. Next thing i know he’s shouting after me ‘well do you want it’. I think you can guess my reply.

So this morning i have been busy planting everything up, including my GW acer that came earlier in the week.

This is the phormium, now affectionally known as Fred!

Here’s the salvia.

This is the GW acer – really pleased with this, and a decent size.

This is the rose bush i bought last week, lovely flowers and still loads on the bush – sorry the name escapes me.

And here’s introducing my baby – chloe. I’ve been after a photo of her for ages but she doesnt stay still long enough. She has just turned 2 and is a rescue cat. We have only had her since July. She was in a road accident in may and lost her litter, broke her pelvis and has had her tail apputated. Considering all that she is so loving and is growing in confidence every day. As you can see from the photo, today she thought she’d try her luck climbing a tree – never seen her do this before!

and another of her, she loves helping mummy in the garden – gorgeous!!
