Cheese Shopping, It's Dangerous, You Know!!!

41 comments


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away..
Nah, thats no’ right! Start again!
Yesterday I paid my doc a visit, & came away quite happy! According to him, I am no longer nuts (I’m a good actress)!
Anyway, I was doing my usual, not looking where I was going, when I spotted these little beauties!

They were growing on wasteland beside the railway!
so I took myself to the shops to buy some goats cheese, & bought …..

a Red Camellia

2 Heuchera (Melting Fire)

An Alchemilla Mollis, I call it Lady’s Mantle!

Some Thyme, we all need gardening Thyme!!

and a Pieris (Forest Flame)

As if that wasn’t profligate enough, someone saw me with the plants & told me about a great bargain in another shop! HMMMM! I needed fruit & veg anyway, so……

Yep! More plants!

this time I came out with ………

a Clematis Warsaw Nike

a Clematis Multi-Blue

and a cranberry bush!

AND my food shopping, let’s not forget that!!

So now my arms ache (I don’t drive!)
BUT, I don’t stop there! I go into another shop, & come out with the biscuits I went in for AND ……..

an unnamed lily

Some growing lettuce (!!!)

And a funny looking garlic called Allium (that’s garlic to me) Ampeloprasum!

So today (I put them in the shade & gave them a drink when I got home, it was WAY too hot to plant them out) I decided to sort them out!

Right you lot! line up! No straggling, mind!

You! Blue! Get over by the shed!

And the rest of you, just gio to bed!

So that was that, & I had a quick look round.

Of course I was properly attired for gardening (??!!)

These two look very friendly! Ive separated them several times but you turn around, & they’re at it again!

But poor Bella Begonia has sunburn!

I’ve taken her back into the house to recuperate.

so that’s the tale of my impulse buys. I hope they were good ones!

Nice blog and lots of plants to boot! Can't fault it.

9 Aug, 2009

 

That's the trouble with supermarkets these days - they've all started to sell tempting plants! How on earth did you carry all that lot home...with your shopping?

9 Aug, 2009

 

I gave up when I added the lily, coudn't carry anymore so I got a taxi Spritz!
I did get a 2nd opinion, OB! Ther were 2 of them there!!
Yes, the plants are more interesting than food Hywel! But I dId remember to get my Somerset goats cheese!
