Did you buy plants at the garden centre? Please do share your purchases if you did so that I can live vicariously through you

Not a lot really. I bought a couple of hellebores to brighten up the pots in the front garden, a small camellia and some onion sets.

Sounds lovely two smashing buys there

Someone was asking about scented perennial evergreens a little while ago & I didn't think of hellebores - most don't smell of much but you can get a 'fragrant' version -- or camellias (must try to find that thread).

We've admitted we're no good at growing onions so no sets for us this year
