I know someone who ordered 50 begonia tubors from here last year and they were amazing so I have no proms ordering

We moved house last spring and garden is bare - now we have done a bit on the house the garden needs some tlc. We are hoping to open it during the village 'open gardens' weekend too - at least it will give us something to aim for!

You won't have to stop shopping, it's just your shopping list will change somewhat, for example the new killer Jimmy Choo shoes, will become the new green wellies!

Seed catalogues will become exciting

I know what you mean about 'plague of nasturtiums' mashauk... I had that last year too. Being new to gardening I trusted what it said on the seed packet and expected them to grow to about 12 inches. They'd got to 10 foot by the time we realised we couldn't take it any longer and hacked them down! They were shading out everything else in the garden and made the edges of the lawn die where they were straggling all over it (got in big trouble with OH because of that!). I wonder if it was the strange weather? Oh well, at least something enjoyed it!

It is, I can just imagine you in your designer wellies fretting about getting mud in your fingernails   The secret is dark nailpolish   By the way, Johnny Depp's going to be about a mile away from me this evening!

I'd not grown them before and they were lovely, but I have a tiny garden and they took over a whole bed, killing everything else off and creeping to the house, in a scary triffid type way, I managed to cut them off the Acer and the fences but not before they'd spread to my neighbours, luckily one of them does anything in their garden the other 2 are overgrown so they won't notice.  I took as many seeds off as I could and will put some down at the lottie as sacrificial plants.  I also gave some away on Freecycle and other groups.

I'm loving the 'sacrificial plants' idea. I have a load of seeds too - some of them have goen a bit furry and mouldy in our damp shed but I doubt anything could stop these things growing. Triffids indeed!
