Stocking up by happypat

Stocking up

I visited the garden centre this afternoon.
I’ve been doing lots of weeding now the soil is wet. It’s been impossible while it’s been so hot as the SIL has been like concrete but it’s so easy now.

There are lots of bare spots so have been picking larger plants that will grow in size & area over the years.
I’m aiming for a herbaceous border look!
Must fill that border up so it will be less work in years to come!!!

It’s a bit shocking how things add up when you get to the till!! 🤣🤣
Nice

Looks like you've got some marguerites. I love their bright sunny faces

They look very nice

A satisfying job

Ooh exciting. We haven’t yet had enough rain to do much but it’s mizzling a bit now so fingers crossed. What did you choose?
June 28th, 2023  
Sounds like a great idea.. Hopefully they do the job.

That's so pretty. And I know just what you mean!!! Happy with some spaces in our garden but some have become so overgrown and need big thinking to work out a plan!!!

A lovely image of the garden centre - my garden has gone to pots this year - so much weeding and digging over to do and the soil has been as hard as rock + Gary been off with a bad back - so he has to go gently at it now . Although we have had rain the soil is still dry!

I see you got your daisies! It’s not a cheap shop at the garden centre is it!

@Dawn Thank you Dawn, he’s taking it easy & the tablets he’s on are making him tired but the course finishes on Sat night & then back to hospital Monday. Just a blip after his hernia op. Fingers crossed it will be resolved next week.

@phil_howcroft @carole_sandford No it definitely isn’t…..my choices ran away with me! All perennials so just a once pay out.

@beryl You won’t like that Beryl. Poor Gary he must stay away from any gardening then…..frustrating for you as I know how you love your garden. Perhaps a kind friend might give it a quick once over. 🙏🏻

I have been astonished at how expensive plants are now! Good for you to have a plan for your beds!
June 28th, 2023  
Gets expensive doesn't it. We always see more plants than we initially intended to buy when we go to the garden centre.
June 28th, 2023  
You must have such a lovely garden.

Good luck with your gardening. You got yourself some lovely plants there.
