Title: Shouldn't have looked!
Post by: eileen on April 07, 2004, 10:37:00
Just got the new Thompson & Morgan catalogue through the post.  :P

Ian's going to kill me!!  :o

I keep saying I'm not going to buy any more plants for the garden but they have these rare pink Lily of the valley (60 pips + 30 free for £17.99) and Japanese painted fern collections, 5 varieties (2 + 1 free for £11.98). Then there's the Solomon's seal and the double 'Eugene' primroses and their black magic collection is out of this world!!
Oh, there's also this lovely climber 'Tropaeolums' and then there's the oriental black bamboo and a new delphinium 'Susan Edmunds'............guess I'm getting a bit carried away again eh?

Well it's nearly Easter and I just KNOW he's forgotten to buy me a pressie so I thought that just maybe..........!!!!

Me need a bigger garden me does!!!  ;D ;D ;D

You are very welcome Sunflower.

We must all get together soon and chat about this terrible affliction we have. ::)

I thought I was cured last week-end when I visited a garden centre and bought NOTHING!! Soon found out I wasn't thought when they posted that catalogue through the door.  :P

That is just it Eileen, how many times this week have you been to the garden centre???? It isnt just the buying, but you have to be around to see what is available.  Just like window shopping for girly things like make up and shoes..I cant go anywhere with my daughters  if there are plants around they just drag me from the shop/stall/market.It is sad isnt it ??? ??? ???

Can I join too?  Yesterday popped (virtually) into the organic gardening catalogue - more seeds ordered, some veg, some flowers, lots of herbs.  Somebody stop me!

Another addict and she's got it bad!  :o

We can't have her buying all those things from catalogues and garden centres ladies....but Ceri ..if we come to help you stop buying all those seeds and plants you do know what'll happen next don't you?  :P

WE'LL all have to buy something too -  just to relieve you of the stress of leaving the rest of the poor plants on the shelves all by themselves, not knowing what kind of home they'll be going to, worrying that someone will starve them or forget to give them enough light or water, wondering if they'll grow up fit and healthy.  ;)  ;)

HELP....she's set me off again...someone tie me to a chair FAST!!

Eileen.
