Forgive me Jennie this is going to be a bit tongue in cheek!
Well, I think you made up for it judging by the number of bags etc etc
Plans are useless, you just get swept away with the mentality of 'sweets in a sweetshop' and pick and mix, you see something you vaguely recall reading about and snatch it before someone else does;  this is not a good tactic as you end up having to borrow money off friends for the one you really wanted to start with  ;)  but how you overcome it I don't know  :-\
   
Very useful as it does get a bit like a WI produce sale
Ah now I see why you had so many bags, double vision.  Watch out everyone, this year she can see what she's after ;D

Hope you're still speaking to me Jennie :-*
 :-*

What can I say Brian......guilty as charged  :). What good fun though.  I guess I will just go with the flow and see what I come home with although I do have a few I would particularly like!  Hope the weather holds out - it was snow here too today.

Very nice, David.  I have never tried growing a car in my garden; how's that working out for you?

The seeds are very expensive, rather large and you don't get many of them.

How's this?   ;D

1 - Jenny with some bags

2 - The boot of Arthur's car  -  but surely these were not all Jennie's?...   ;D

having been at your table all morning I'm not surprised, remember it being one of the coldest days,

While looking for pics of Jennie's snowdrop purchases I found these of a very very cold salesman called Brian not showing his usual smiling face!
