February in the Garden Centre is a lot more interesting than our January visit was. Lots of plants in flower, like these colourful Primulas.
This was what I came for - the deep pink/nearly claret ones at the top, though the two tone pink and cream below were very pretty too. Lovely Hellebores. The biggest were £21.99 but on the next shelf down they were also very well grown and "only" £16.99. I chose one of those, absolutely smothered in flowers.
I noticed some unusual soft fruits I'd not seen anywhere before. Might try the Honeyberry, but would prefer a Boysenberry first.
Inside the Farm Shop, lots of tempting goodies.
I have turned the photo but it won't oblige - I didn't take it sideways on to start with either. One for my wish list.
This was so pretty, but I can't think of anywhere I could put it in my house, apart from perhaps my sewing room. At £34.99 I wasn't tempted anyway.
The light was poor for this photo but everything in the display had green in it.
The Hellebore I bought. I also got 3 Lupins (£12), some Rose Feed and a packet of Nasturtiums (Tip Top Pink Blush).Despite it raining, I cleared a bit of the area on the bank I am gradually planting up, and popped this in. I hope it will thrive there.
I've just been up the road and collected 6 bags of my horsey friend's well rotted muck heap and will get my strong son to unload it and carry it up into the paddock tomorrow. A job well done.
Now I am going to bake some Chocolate Blackberry Brownies for tomorrow.
