Sorry phil you could have bought one plant, you bought 12 - it sounds like addiction transference to me!

Welcome to the Vine btw.

There's no point fighting it mate, you'll only suffer longer.

Isn't it criminal how the big garden centres and DIY stores let their plants die rather than spend an hour a day watering?! Can't say I mind rescuing the cheap plants though...

Phil did you go in there to buy plants in the first place?

If YES....well we we soon have you sorted, and you will be as bad as the rest of us! lol

Hi welcome here!
just all of us is probably as bad as you, still even naughtier! If we spend so much time talking about gardening...is there a recovery possible?
suspect this group help you to do those kind of things, when you hear others great bargain purchases...!

Don't worry- there's still plenty of time to pick up more seeds Phil!!!

Oh - and welcome to the Vine- sounds like you're fitting in perfectly!!

Um , what can I say if it were a criminal offence then I would be well and truly in deep doo doo.

I have 3 choc tins, the ones you get at xmas from people who think that giving a woman on a diet 3 tins of chocolate is a good idea!

In these tins I must confess there are at least 50+packets of seeds, to make it even worse there are even duplicate, triplicate packets of the same ones bought from different shops over the past few weeks. I am going nuts.

Think I am not only suffering from addicition, but can't remember what it was I was addicted too and buy some more!

Only bought (10 more packets this afternoon) Um, think I am a bit sad now!!!

If you want more (But don't tell the others..............) try Lidl they have loads for 39p. Probably rubbish but at that price worth a try! Especially the weird and wonderful different squashes and gourds.

Good luck, lets home we get a good summer
