I'm heading off to leafy Essex today, for my annual pilgrimage to visit Baby Steve and Houseboy Alex - and to visit as many garden centres as is humanly possible over one weekend, in the expectation of bringing back a load of new goodies for the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers. As per the forecast, the lovely warmth of midweek has evaporated away, and it's all back to normal temperatures for this time of year [dammit!], but that won't stop us!
Meanwhile, even though I am off, it is still the end of another (albeit short, thanks to Easter) week - and I have something suitably "plant-themed" to get the party started. Thank Disco Northern Soul [and vocalist Colin Young's performing trousers] It's Friday!
Have a good one, dear reader!
"Normal" service may resume on Monday...
Have a glorious weekend my friend! But inquire our minds want to know will you be spreading your seed?
ReplyDeleteSeed-sowing's always on the agenda, dear. Jx
DeleteCheers, sweetpea! Enjoy your weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's been fab... Jx
DeleteGood luck on the hunt.
ReplyDeleteOnly three large "bags for life" full - not bad going! Jx
DeleteDear gods! I remember when that was a "hit"
ReplyDeleteI was six years old. I probably danced to it when it was on the radio... Jx
DeleteHappy hunting
ReplyDeleteWe shall enjoy going through "the spoils" tomorrow! Jx
DeleteA Garden Centre weekend - Colour me green! I hope you manage/d to get all your purchases home in one trip. And that you left room to sow those Ipomoea seeds! (I sowed mine the other day.)
ReplyDeleteIt was bliss - three days of trawling garden centres! Needless to say, I came back laden with delights. Three whole shopping bags' worth - a tally of thirty-two new plants! [To add to the two new salvias and four trays of annuals we got at The Gardening Club last weekend.] And yes, Madam A has sown the ipomoea seeds, as well as stocks and cobaea...
DeleteIt's going to be a jungle out there again! Good job I bought a new set of garden shelves to accommodate it all 😎. Jx
If you got all that I hope you also picked up a new garden hoe.
DeleteI am the "garden ho"! Jx
DeleteWait a damn minute! This is Monday isn't it? This is not like my Gin Blossom to be not bitching about a Monday just like me.
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, I'm still on annual leave - huzzah!!! Jx
