I got some bulbs at Morrisons today not such a good bargain as yours though Joanella,mine where 10 allium drumsticks, 4 tulips queen of night and 100 snow crocus all for two pounds still good though.They are for one of my front garden pot's. I have a scented geranium in there at the minute but it is growing like a triffid and needs to be moved.

20 Nov, 2010

 

ha ha Mavis,you are lucky to have it growing so well at this time..you also did well at Morrisons they dont reduce much there..i bet the snow crocus will look nice..:o)

20 Nov, 2010

 

I hope so Joanella I like crocus lot's of lovely colour's in the spring hopefully..:o)

20 Nov, 2010

 

Brilliant bargain :) Hope the weather holds for you until you get them all planted up.

20 Nov, 2010

 

must admit they do brighten up dull parts of the garden..i forget who it is now but someone on GOY is growing lots of them for Saffron..but i do love the colours ..:o))
well i am off to my bed now my eyes are closing ..been on laptop too long today i think..i come on for a half hour ...3hrs later..like most i suppose.. :o))

20 Nov, 2010

21 Nov, 2010

 

Unbelievable, well done. Just goes to show the mark up on these things, Hope you have a wonderful show. Plenty there to even have cut flowers in spring.

21 Nov, 2010

 

What a great bargain! You'll have a good show in the spring :o)

21 Nov, 2010

hi Clarice,yes i do too.:o)
hi Martin , does show you the mark up on things when they get reduced..good idea to have cut flowers but i would rather see them in the ground..dont mind them from the shop though if that makes any sense..:o)

21 Nov, 2010

Great bargain! Wish I could get out for a look around. I want to grow some hyacinths in glass vases again this year but Roy hasn't seen any when he has been shopping.
We used to love our allotments and I hope yours are a success next year.

Inundated with snow at present and at the end of our road where we turn left to get into town there is a slope and a narrowing between two brick walls that was impassable yesterday. ( Known locally, appropriately, as The Narrows!) Terribly cold. Shall have to wait for a thaw before venturing out.

I took some photos from top floor looking over the town and some of the garden. Like a fairyland at night with the moon, stars and snow.

Hi Lyn,sorry to hear you are snowed in, we havent had any in Manchester yet i am pleased to say but it is freezing..i have lost a few plants in the greenhouse due to frost i do hope you will be able to get out & about soon.Yes i do like the look of it all at night-from inside-lol but i ..unlike your views.. have other houses facing front & back.:o)
