Default Doesn't take much to get me excited...

Got one of my plant deliveries today

10 asparagus crowns
2 Blueberry bushes
2 Blackcurrant bushes

Can't wait to plant out the blackcurrants tomorrow and the asparagus later in the week.....

Mr OWG can't believe how excited I get about a box that says "Live Plants" on it! Well, simple things and all that

I came home from the school run this afternoon and found a "live plants" box with my Jostaberry bushes in and my husband raised his eyebrows when I was dancing round the hall, he just doesn't get it!!

Planted my potatoes last night AFTER work, it was warm!!! I was so happy, even took pic on my phone so that I can look at it today when stuck here at work. ( I really like my job, but I do miss the plot when here)

Hi Shelley! Your new delivery sounds very exciting! How are things in your neck of the woods? Do drop me a PM! Who is the doggy with Max? Have you got another puppy? Love Bernie
