Winter scent

The signs of spring in the garden are scant, but the conservatory smells wonderful. I cut some flowering sprigs from the hamamellis this morning and also bought a Sarcococca confusa (Christmas box)at the college nursery. The combination of two is heady - almost too much. The vague plan is to plant the box in a pot by the front door. It was light enough at 5pm to take out some peelings for the compost. The itch to get outside and start is getting stronger every day.

Hi Trillium

Following on from the thread on the BBC GW site about wholesale plants I use Howards and Manor Farm who both have massive stocks of perennials. I use Johnsons of Whixley for shrubs but I think they're cash and carry only.

Also if you're getting any printing done for business cards etc try printing.com. They often do special offers on stationery.
