I had a lovely day in the works garden today.
Mussel building!
24×70kg bags to be moved. Thank god for wheelbarrows.
Filled the new planters with building rubbish and soil. Still topping up the fencing on the slope. Not there yet but its coming!
And moved a 6′×4′ wooden frame, Jame’s my boss refused to help cos of the spiders-.wimp!
Tony the M.G. came back from Ireland today, never makes any comment. Just wants to know when I’m filling the planters. Oh………..
you know those really good deals you get on the internet. 84 plug plants for some ridicules price. Well didn’t realize they would be quite so tiny. The first ones arrived last week, I didn’t know you could even buy such little plants.
130 pounds worth of tiddlers. Nothing I can use for the planters!
Do these plants even mature this year. I cant see them producing the fantastic displays you see in the catalogs. Can tell I don’t do flowers as a rule, cant you!

I bought some plug plants as pansies before Christmas and have only just got them into the garden LOL
I'm guessing they are fine if you have time and space to pot them all for growing on first :O)

Oh I don't know. fuchsias arrived yesterday and they where much bigger! Although the 5 tree lily's turned out to be 4 tree lily's and an Oriental lily which I put into one of the planters, Hope it doesn't look silly all on its own............
It was funny admitted to the owner of the local garden center we use a lot, what I had done and he raised a very knowing smile. "There all right if you have a heated green house and are prepared to look after them".......... He knows I'll be back!
