I forgot all about my huge tub of bonemeal, and I think a box with two lights (one we paid £70 for at an antique shop not long before moving) AND an expensive lined winter jacket I wrapped them in, are Missing in Action, as I have not found them since we got here. About £200 worth gone west. I hope you find your plant supports.<br /><br />A good haul of plants to make your new garden a bit more you. I was going to buy an Astrantia at Malvern BUT they wanted £15 so I hastily put it back! I have Alchemilla Mollis growing feral across the paddock here . . .
