Stopped off at roadside plant stall on way home whose hand written labels usually repay study. Today, as you see, she was offering Handy Cycle men at £1.25 a pot. Bought a Dianthus and something else (can't remember what ). Then on to Sudbury and to the best nurseryman in East Anglia, whose knowledge of his subject is extensive, his advice and information are free, and his stock not expensive. He lives in a bungalow with at least half an acre of garden, all of which is set out as a richly stocked garden centre. Bought six trays of purple and yellow over wintering pansies, for use in the hanging baskets and urns. Crazy Gang joke, circa 1950 :- "What's a Greek Urn?" - "About three drachma a week".
Seem to have lost accompanying photo - will try to put it in next entry.

Hey that's one of my old jokes:)
Sorry Pat. You couldn't trust that Crazy Gang - one of them must have pinched it from you.
Cheers, Mike.
P.s. Ann tells me that the 'something else' that we bought was a small heather, for a 'sink garden' she is planning.
