I miss the UK supermarkets when it comes to the garden plants. They're really expensive here, and rubbish. Lidl is ok, but not as good as in the UK. Thankfully though, there's a flourishing black market on Facebook though lol

The sieve looks useful, I resort to a flat one and a bucket and it takes ages.

I went to a garden centre I never knew existed and bought loads of cheap plants, which is really unheard of here! Plants are generally very expensive! I'll take pics and upload, and after ID'ing them! LOL

That's a really good find. What was it originally?

The plants I bought yesterday was a lot of tobacco plants with gorgeous flowers, a couple of sweet paprika plants, white clover, creeping Jenny for around the pond and absolutely loads of a flower that is new to me. It's called Arizona beggarticks. What an odd name! But so beautiful
