                Well well , I though they where for the front garden , I would say save some more money and wait for the clearance sale of January , :blue thumb: in case anyone else need any plants I don`t mind pop around , even If I`ve promise myself to stay away from that place.

                  Been a fab journey doing it........ Loved every minute of it, from chopping down the leylandii in the neighbours garden to planting the dahlias........... Looking forward to getting my teeth into the front garden now!
