April Car Boot Sale Finds?

Apart from that mistake of the shelf unit, purchases have been virtually non existent. .

A pack of charity Christmas cards for £1 and that's  it!  [except from a few plants].


I bought a red pepper plant for £1 when none of my first sowing germinated. [Now they've eventually appeared I'm going to have plenty!] I wasn't going to bother with aubergines as my preferred way to use them is in a aubergine and tomato pasta sauce and just one aubergine makes quite a few portions but then someone had aubergine plants also for £1, I just bought one. Finally two courgette plants again for £1 each as I hadn't got around to sowing any. I have got enough cucumber and tomatoes through so won't need to buy those. Someone was selling 3 sweetcorn plants for £1 which I thought was a bit expensive but I'm sure there will be some cheaper later..... for some reason I forgot to get seeds....or peat pots to sow them in......

I'm not sure why my gardening mojo has vanished this year - maybe it's due to the years of having everything ruined by next door's cat, pigeons and slugs.

My 'fill a blog post with weird you tube things' yesterday brought several comments and Steve's comment of "how much peanut butter can a person stockpile" immediately brought to mind a vision of someone having cupboards full of jars of PNB and at the time of dire emergency opening the cupboard and being killed by getting hit on the head and buried under 100's of falling jars!! 

I think this could be a plot for Midsomer Murders!

I think I might have been reading too many crime novels!!


Back Tomorrow.......... unless..................!
