EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND VISIT TO FAVOURITE WALSALL MARKET STALL

your garden is lovely B/A, loved the market stall, I would have had a field day buying those Huchera's

All those lovely heucheras and such good prices!

Ba your garden is wonderful, it looks immaculate, I don't think I,ve seen it before and I just love it!

Love your front garden it has come so quick. I wish we had markets like that down here.

Thanks Yorkie, I tried to avoid showing all the weeds in my drive, there's a forest after all the rain and I don't fancy getting down on my knees at the moment, may have to use chemicals:-(

I had it done last year Pam, hated mowing the lawn and had ideas above my station for a rose garden with lavender and gypsophylla ....then the rains came. There's a blog showing how I had to dig and put in gravel before planting the lavender Little Lady etc. Now I have no grass back or front, but lots of planting areas and there's always room for more:-)

Yes, I think they'll go very well there Ba....they look to be wonderful specimens, great looking Market stall, I would like to have a closer look at those grasses for sale, I've got a thing for them at the moment....:0))

Drc, I don't have a car, so this stall is great for me although it's not so easy bringing plants home on the bus. I was so worried I'd snap off the flowers:-)

well I have had a good look and I can't see a weed anywhere.

Janey, the grasses were fabulous. I'm not a 'grass person' but I may be next year lol. I'm a rose person at the moment. I wish the Queen of Sweden had a bit more colour though, or maybe it's Lady Emma Hamilton making her look a bit wishy washy (have I mentioned I love her?):-)

Good...don't look too hard Yorkie, at least there's none in the beds:-)

It seems ages since i went plant shopping BA, I wish i lived near this market :) yeah the huchera looks great right there, get it planted lol. Gorgeous front garden by the way..

Oh that stall. I'd love to go there lol. Your garden looks lovely ... a very nice design :o)

I love markets and to find such a wonderful plant stall is a real bonus!

Really like your purchases and your garden is a picture.

Don't work TOO hard in all this heat - we're not used to it!!!

Thanks Ydd, I'll plant them today:-)

Thanks Hywel, it's as good as some local garden centres, I wonder if they deliver as I can't get that much back on the bus lol:-)

Thanks Wildrose, I never work hard, don't want to suffer an attack of the vapours lol. It's lovely here again today. There are lots of stalls selling fruit and veg for £1 a large bowl full, a fraction of what you pay in the supermarkets. I can't always buy many though as it would mean I couldn't carry home the plants:-)

Nice choice BA - I do wish there was a market like this near me. I hope you've got them all planted up and happy with where you have them.
I laughed at your comment re the grasses - I wasn't a grass person last year - I now have quite a few. It's all a slippery slop isn't it?

It certainly is Scottish ....heucheras ..... geums ..... now roses (again)....coronilla (Spritzhenry) Sweetpeas 2010 ...the list is endless. We should all get out while we can:-)

Hi Ba, at this rate by the time I get to meet you there will be snow on the ground. The front beds are looking good, the roses are really putting on a show.
I`m cream crackered, been at it all day digging a large square hole 40" x 40" x 24" deep to hold the waterfall feature as I`m re-doing the waterfall. Trouble is a baby robin has been pestering me all day and I have to keep running in the house as I am scared to death of birds, love to see them tho from a distance.

Ha Ba! I've been out to grass for about the last three years....and lo and behold, did I treat myself today!! The most fabulous grass queueing up to leap into my basket...shall have to take it's photograph later......I'm in lurrrve........:0))))). What's that about getting out more....Scottish knows how I feel don't you....la....la....la.....

Phyl, I had no idea you were afraid of birds, must be awkward you being a gardener. What is it you find frightening about them? Now INSECTS especially DADDY LONG LEGS and other things that ATTACK me like MOTHS! ...that I can undestand lol. I don't dislike insects, in fact I like them, just give me the creeps I'm afraid, but I don't want to hurt them. When I'm digging I feel terrible as it's impossible to do without damaging worms etc. Strangely I'm not so scared of bees and wasps, probably because I've never been stung, and their legs don't fall off. Have you done all the digging yourself? As to our meeting ....I've put a bet on with Ladbrokes lol :-))

Lol Janey, I look forward to you pic. I do have a few grass like things such as Hacken ...erm ... you know the one lovely variegated, japanese I think and I have Philaris Feesey and another long browny grass, not keen, but gift so must learn to love it. Maybe they'll be my next pash, who knows:-))

Hi B,A I live in walsall and know the stall you go to, I also shop there. Your garden looks good too

Hi Vii, thanks, it's cheaper than the garden centres isn't it and the plants all look well cared for. Mine from there have all been great. Maybe they'll give me commission?;-)

I get most of mine at the local markets,Ba..just great,aren't they? Your Heuchera's look nice,and a good price too..I haven't been to ours for a while..I hate those dyed Heathers ! but at least the pic of Aislinn distracted me..:o))

Thanks Sandra, this market sells very cheap fruit and veg too, as you can see, Boo had bought bananas:-)

Sensible girl, your Boo..Aislinn wouldn't have fancied a Heuchera ! :o))

I really like your front garden design Ba :o))
