I dislike gardening with a passion. No Really, cement it all in and paint it green I say! I can always find something to do that is more important...So when I needed gravel and hedge bushes I was not looking forward to the task ahead. I would pass this business often but never stopped. I called other businesses today trying to get gravel delivered...What size do you want? What colour do you want? It was becoming clear that I had to see the stone to decide what I needed.. So in the car I set off to Plants Plus. The service was excellent! Now I must look like a green thumb because when it came to the hedges the assistant was quoting botanical names to me. I think that it became clear when I responded with I want something this colour and this high and needs to act as a hedge. He instantly understood as if the unwritten code had been spoken between blokes. This is what you need he said my pride and ego in tact. On the way to the checkout I was very surprised to see exactly what this business actually sold. Combine a Garden Nursery with a kind of Furniture and interior store and you would not be far wrong. Great service, excellent range and friendly people. I needed it all delivered quickly and this was done within 30 minutes of me getting home. 2mtrs of gravel and 8 green and red plants with names I will never be able to pronounce. But I am home, the gravel is spread and the plants are planted..(My wife calls them "The condemned". If shopping for Plant stuff is this easy I just may give up fishing..Maybe!

Fast Forward. Today is 13th of February 2014 and the condemned are still on "Death Row". The Household Governess also known as "she that must be obeyed" announced today that the Parole had been granted and they were now off the endangered list as they were over 1 mtr tall. This does have more to do I fear with the quality of the plants than the colour of my thumb. Although I can think of no one that turns on a sprinkler like I do.
