92 plants between the two of you?!! 
My word, you must be on the Christmas card list of a good few nurseries - well done- the specialist nurseries need all the support they can get. 
Hello Maggi,
The majority of them are small plants for troughs and raised beds. Gail bought more than half as she and her partner moved into a new house in Feb. this year. Well, its not a “new” house, its much older than where they have moved from. It needs much renovation, but it has character and potential; and a much bigger garden. There were two Belfast sinks full of weed on the patio and they have recently found another two at the far end of the garden, past a big pond full of frogs and overgrown from many years of neglect.
Last year I had three nasty falls climbing on and off my bigger raised beds. I was finding it very difficult and exhausting trying to maintain them, so regretfully, they have had to go! To be replaced by a much higher raised bed at about elbow height so that I don’t have to bend. I used to get back ache after a few hours in the garden and would suffer tor two days!
A year ago I had two full knee replacements, I can now walk and stand for hours— but I cant bend!
There was such a “mouth-watering” choice of wonderful plants, it was like walking into Aladdin's Cave. Plants like Geranium farreri, Clematis marmoraria, and Potentilla atrosanguinea which I had and lost some years ago and now only had the “dead labels” in a jam jar on a shelf in the garage. Then of course the lovely choice of various S. ‘Allendale Hybrids’.
I probably did over spend, but the temptation was to great Maggi, but I will find a place for all of them.
Yes, the specialist nurseries need all the support they can get. I have very rarely bought any alpine from garden centres and supermarkets.
Anyway, I can’t spend anymore time chatting to you lot! . . . I have some alpine gardening to do!
