Free Plants

What's better than plants? Free plants of course. Reluctantly Betty went to work yesterday. She was very tired after staying up late (10pm) to listen to the little Mushroom perform in a singing concert.

What at fantastic night. She is such the proud mother now. Little Mushroom is not fazed at all by it all - just a bit tired.

So at work - which isn't really work - just helping out with a bit of gardening in a big garden. Anyway, the work was in the herbaceous border - Betty's favourite place. The plan was to remove some clumps that had got too big. And what was going to happen to the clumps that were too big?

Nothing!! Free to a good home. So Betty took a bag full of.......well she's not sure. There was definitely perennial sunflowers and probably some Aconitum and some other stuff that she thinks is Achillea but not the usual one. And she took some poppies although the chances of them surviving are nil.

Good stuff! Home they came, they were planted and the hosepipe dragged round. And it didn't reach!

What idiot decided to put the outside tap at the furthest point from the garden?? So watering can out and plants drowned. Fingers crossed. Betty is happy.

And very angry because the job she didn't want, she didn't get. Ok, but they never told her they didn't want her. Never again will she shop there. All their talk of customer service and they didn't think that she might be a customer and their attitude to her reflects badly on them.
