Car boot sales are one of the best ways to get good cheap plants.

i have three squash plants to put in later,along with 2 pumpkin and 3 marrow.
i plant mine with a bit of horse dung.
we have a comp against me my dad and my brother to see who can grow the biggest pukin.
they were all planted at the same time and all the same variety so the results will be intresting.

It's all going to my head now.... must be the weather !.

Last night i cut down a small tree/giant shruc, kind of looked like a euronimus (think it's called that) it was about 15 foot high and massively bushy , so need to take that to the tip tommorrow night as it's open till 8 !.

I need to fill in a gap now though, it's about 10ft wide 3 ft high and on top of a wall, so might even fence the upper half and leave the stone wall exposed underneath !.

Car boots sales, are great for plant, i was at dauntsey on sunday and bought loads !. Though i will say that trotmans are very very reasonable for plants, i know generally they are a little more for most things.... but for plants they are cheaper than the market, locally produced and real top quality !.

What next .. hmnnn .. big area of soil needs grass seeding .. a little late i know but got to be done !

I've planted about 33 tubs with bedding and several hanging baskets up. Lawns are all sorted. Everything is mulched all I have to do in the summer is cut the grass and drink copious amounts of wine. First BBQ tomorrow night. Forget the veg thing far to like hard work we have a great organic farm up the road.
