Done it again!

[Plot69]

Needed some heavy duty wire to string between two post to make a framework for espalier apple trees I'm growing. Cost? About 4 quid for a 20 meter roll.

So how come, by the time I got to the till, I'd spent another 75 quid?

I thought I had enough cabbages, pumpkins, butternuts and tomatoes already, among all the other things I bought... It's just that they looked so healthy and, well, you can never have too many cabbages and, my butternuts might not do as well as last year and, the tomatoes I bought I've never grown before and they looked unusual, and, and... Well, you know how it is!

Which brings me to the tomatoes I bought, Black Cherry, anyone any experience of them?. They looked so unusual so I bought a couple of plants.

An excellent choice, Black cherry tom, like Sungold very vigerous cordon, better taste IMHO... (We could have sold you one cheaper...)  ::)

Hi Saddad, this is a personal for you really.
I'm new to the forum: I've seen several references you've made to 'the sale': can you bear to tell me what and where this sale is? I'm near Derby and a sucker for plant buying.
Thanks.

Welcome to A4A Small...
We are opening our Lotties for the NGS scheme on the 7th June 11-5 (£3 to charity) but have a big plant sale.... see the entry in the News section...

It is called Supermarket Sucker Syndrome.

I have never gone in for a bottle of milk or loaf of bread and spent less than £15 yet!

Do you think that they put certain things we 'pop in for'  right at the far end of the shop deliberately?

It is called Supermarket Sucker Syndrome.

If it was a supermarket I'd have no problem. I'm what's known as an SAS hit man shopper. Get in, get what I want and get out again fast. If I go in for a pint of milk that's exactly what I get and all I come out with.

It's just garden centers and fishing tackle shops I have a problem with.
