Oh those naughty plants ~ I blame GoY!

All those jumping plants. They ought to be banned !
I wonder if any ... .... no, I'll re-phrase that - I wonder how many will jump into my trolly tomorrow lol

You have a good selection, and I think they have been approved aswell :o)

Thymus we have some - love it - nice buys - like the blog :D

Its not the jumping plants that bother me Sticki, it's the leaping fivers!!

Nice selection there Sticki.Glad you had a good day.The best kind..Your little cat looks well impressed too Lol.

Well done ! But I agree with Karen, its the fivers.

not too sure Minty approved ~ i put them on the table that she sits on! luckily they were all good prices karen [liked the leaping fivers!] ~ 3 for £10 and then most of the rest were nothing above £3 apart from the jasmine but i really wanted that cos my last one had died.

Boing - leaping plants here today 3 roses for £5 from Focus DIY whoops.:-)

you did better than me the kf ~ think i had better leap over to focus ~ do the rounds ~ a gardening hop instead of a pub crawl??

Leaping fivers, bouncing tenners and trolleys that are too small sometimes!

Very nice too but Minty wants to know how you have the nerve to place them in her favourite place when the weather is nice......

Wonderful vareities you have there Sticki, If I see you we can both leap over to focus then the pub crawl lol. As for the leaping fivers, I shall be right behind you ready to catch them hehe.

there werent very many 6d!! but your on for the focus leap and the pub crawl!

sorry lincslass and minty! i did put a cushion out for her later on the chair ~ she was quite happy then!!

bouncing tenors would have been a nice accompaniment!

No you don't need a lot of money if you know where to go, most garden centres are monsters for over chargeing except in sales then I can get them full price cheaper than their reductions. You should look out for little side green groucers we have one here called Joe Richards, eg, small yellow witch hazel 4.99 at Joe Richards, 9.99 at Dobbies same size same plant. Or look on the web for local nurseries they normally are the cheapest, where I get a lot of mine from especially for hanging baskets.

thats true 6d!

thats worth knowing ~ thanks 6d!

I had a good teacher my mum lol her mother was a business woman even though I have been one myself use to own a scrap yard with x, her mum owned cafes, hotels, snooker rooms, sweet shops in Wales and Bristol, London, she taught me how to take cuttings and grafting roses, her father was a trial grower for the big companies.

Your welcome Stickitoffe cuts out the middle man

Homebase suprised me --Bramley apple tree ( and other trees) £9.98

funny that happened to me yesterday ............ lol
a nerine , 3 parts of seeds ,some woodland primroses and a tiny pot of iris haha ................... o and nearly 20 quid lighter in the purse ermmmm wonder how !!!

I agree with Karen aswell its the fivers jumping, but well done you love all your plants.

thats not a bad price for trees pam ~ were there any other types?
so the jumping plants have gone all the way up to cheshire then cristina?
thanks clarice

Not heard of these jumping kangaroo plants before but they look none the worse for their exercise! I hope there are still some around when I finally manage to visit a nursery/garden centre :)

im sure there will be whatever the price!

Havnt had that trouble yet...lol... i planted so much last year im waiting to see what comes back......
But im quite sure a few pots will fall my way soon.. : O ))

dont break them holly! i only let the cheaper ones jump in my trolley ~ they seem to be the best at this trick!

Love your selection wish they jump into my garden, Pussy seems to approve too;0)

thanks PP. you never had jumping plants??

All the time Sticky I need cufflinks on if I go anywhere near a Garden Centre lol

:-))

No wonder Harry can't find his cufflinks,Carole..if you are wearing them Lol. Will you have them on when we go out?....erm,did you mean handcuffs really ? :o)))

i wouldnt mind if i was handcuffed to a handsome man in uniform.

Well think of me working in a garden centre Sticki...plants just throw themselves at me and somehow I find them in the back of my car when I get home...how it happens I have no idea! lol :o))

aha i didnt realise you worked in one!
i know the feeling ~ i work in a supermarket and i have told my section boss that its worth their while to keep me cos i spend all my money that i earn in the shop!!!!
and then OH money in the GC!!!

Lol,Sandra and Sticki..I used to do the same..especially reduced stuff if I wanted them or not :o)Great business to be in,pay you with one hand and given back with the other.!I spent far less when I retired..:o)

thanks for that ~ i wondered how it worked!!
there's hope yet then?

I agreed with you Bloomer until I discovered plants on ebay..and Crocus (had some cracking plants from them)...to name a minute few...I darent tell OH how much I have spent on an Iris order...

he will never know ~ tell him you've had them for ages!!

Trouble is he is home all the time now and loves opening the parcels...while I try to grab the invoice!

Don't know about jumping plants, Sticki..it's the talking ones that I have all the problems with! They plead with me to purchase them, and I am so soft hearted that it is hard to refuse....lol\0/x

Now who's the barmey one...even Charlie doesnt say plants talk to him LOL!

Being barmy is an essential part of being on certain area's of Goy...I am well equipped....Mind you, Charlie only doesn't admit to it, not the same thing at all you know, Tet...you ask Muddy...lol\\0/x

Yes, I can see your point Flori, the first sign of madness is talking to plants..the second sign is them answering back!

hello everyone
love from poppy and forget me not

Its terrible, Sticki and Bloomer, I should work for plants instead of money because it all goes back in the till...lol! ;o))

you could buy a money plant??

I still have some lilies in the garden which I bought ,complete with terracotta pot,for 50p years ago...so much for a sell by date !..the pot is still in use too.I loved it when we started selling plants.:o)

lol...good idea....we have one in our staff room but its never looked that healthy, perhaps if I feed it it might sprout tenners..lol!

We have those jumping plants up north too, Sticki. They're terrible in Wilkinson's! I only went in for toothpaste came out with Astilbe, Hosta, Paeonia, raspberry canes & blueberries!

interesting toothpaste mandy!!!
maybe if you went in for plants you could come out with 5 types of toothpaste???

Quite possibly!
