Whats your latest plant purchase?

That would be a novelty - growing Rhubarb in the middle of my new shrub border! ;D It would certainly be a talking point for visitors, wouldn't it.

I was in the B&Q where i used to work on Friday and i picked up and 1/2 price Penistetum and a pack of Euonymus for £2 Took me over an hour to get out of the shop as i kept speaking to folks i used to work with ;D ;D

Careful! ;D

I had a Rheum until we had the two really cold winters, its an attractive plant, lovely tall red flower spikes

No boggy areas in my garden Geranium, it was in a shady place and I watered it if we had a dry period and it grew well, but it formed a large root which was partly above soil level and I think when the ground was frozen solid for weeks that was what killed it. They are an impressive plant with huge leaves and unusual flowers

Rheum palmatum Lou

Did it feel strange being back?

On the way back from Bristol we went into a GC up there and I bought a dark-leaved Azalea - I can't remember its name but it should have pink flowers - to go in my largest blue pot. I shall have to take all the heathers out, and start again. I think that's probably a good thing in case the previous planting, a Pieris, died because of vine weevil.
