Good Weekend :-)

There's over 40 different varieties. Too bad Dobbies isn't more helpful.

The staff all look the part in their pink fleece tops but that's about it.

Ooo, another dragon plant? Excellent!

The leaves are smooth my friend, no serrated edges. None of your links ever work for me. So sad about that.

That is to say,its leaf is entire.There is no doubt that it is the spider plant.

I could name it I suppose but I'm resisting at the moment lol. John took the Sweet Peas to his Dad's (he used to grow them for shows so he knows a thing or two about them) and he's planted them in our trough, which is now outside. My plan is for the Sweet Peas to grow up the front of the shed, thereby hiding it. Hopefully, I'll be able to see them (if they grow high enough) from my vantage point at the sink lol. I'm also hoping that, once it gets colder (again) for the weekend then they won't die off. I never trust Paul Mooney, our local weatherman as Carlisle is actually protected from the Pennines from much of the nasty weather he keeps banging on about..so the rain he keeps mentioning we haven't had!

Mum had a spider plant many, many years ago and what I remember about it were the thin leaves. I guess there are varieties with thicker leaves like the one I have? How often would you water it?

I would water it when the soil is dry, but not pulling away from the pot. It may have thicker leaves because it has been pampered a lot.

I haven't got a dishwasher!

I saw some amazing flowers in Dobbies, the Nursery we visited. I should've taken photographs of them as there's no way I could grow them here as they'd probably die on me (outside) but the colours were dark purple and bight yellow..together on one flower. Gorgeous!

Oh no, MIL's tongue? I hope my own MIL never gets to see it, otherwise it might die on me!

Snow is annoying, I must say. March was very cold here..in fact the coldest March for about 50 years or something. Yes, a Boston Fern is a plant. The ones in Dobbies were a damn sight healthier than the one I killed off, I can tell you that much!

I do have the odd shrub that flowers and my Hot Lips of course lol. Those I have in my raised flower bed, but I refuse to grow high maintenance flowers, the ones that need a lot of sun..as we only get the sun at an angle on certain parts of the bed, and that's from about 2pm until 5pm, something like that. Our shed tends to get in the way too which is why I'm going to grow Sweet Peas up the front of it.

It's annoying that it doesn't say on the card what the plant is. Dobbies are assuming we know everything there is to know about plants BEFORE we go in, not realising not everyone are experts, including me.
