Did you order the blueberry bush? If so, perhaps they had to substitute it. Otherwise, well done on your "winnings"

I never got around to ordering the Blueberry - this is just me not accepting that there is a credit crunch going on, but best I stop eh!aka

You're not the only one.
In the last month I've had "free" plum tree, about a dozen hellebores, amaryllis, anemones ... and I'm still waiting for snowdrops.

Love your "savings" theory TwoSheds!! It's great saving on things you really want, but it is so easy to get sucked into buying something just because it's cheap/"free" and you end up not knowing where the **** to put it/them.Comment

I don't know who keeps buying all those plants Piskie
I've been clearing out my seed box to get ready for next years order and I've got 9 kinds of lettuce, 5 kinds of beetroot, 10 kinds of tomato, 4 kinds of parsnip and gawd knows what else 
The beans have a box to themselves 
I don't know who bought all those seeds 
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.Comment

Had a plum, cherry and kiwi plant delivered on Thursday which I'd ordered back in the Spring after I got a bonus. Had forgotten all about them but fortunately had paid for them when I bought as I knew I'd not still have the money by now. Planted the trees out yesterday but the kiwi is staying in a pot until the spring. On a plus point they also sent me 12 free strawberry plants so they'll be off to the lottie in the spring too - in 3" pots for now though.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment
