Plants To Buy, Plants To Plant! ( And An Archway Or Two! )

  • Arriving at a garden centre is a gardener's delight with so many plants and gardening goodies to choose from. Us gardeners as you know can't help ourselves but to come back home with more plants, seeds and garden related products etc than we intended to buy. 😂
    Here all we set out to buy was a cherry tree and a plum tree for the allotment. We came back with much more as you can imagine!
    We bought the cherry tree and other plants at the first garden centre and moved on to another garden centre for the plum tree.
    It was at the second garden centre that I found some eco friendly slug pellets made from wool. I bought a small packet to try them out on the allotment flower bed.
    Back to the home garden, I dug out two echinops plants. They have a prety blue flower but grew too big for the flower bed last year so I dug them both up to take to the allotment.
    At the allotment I dug up the blackcurrant bushes to replant them and discovered that they have very little roots on them so must have been cuttings.
    I planted the Erysymum plants in the flower bed and put the wool slug pellets around the slug eaten plants.
    Gogi Berry plants need to be dug up as we are moving the pathway to line up with the pathway on the bindweed plot. Once that is done then it's on to build 2 archways. They will be used as plant supports for the beans or peas later on in the season.
    Thank you for watching, liking my video and subscribing. I really appreciate it.
    Love from Linda ❤

      I didn't have enough of those wool pellets so spotted some brown wool in Aldi but didn't buy it as too much acrylic in it. Thought it would work out cheaper if I could cut up my own 😂 They seem to be ok though otherwise.
