Supermarket plants

I’ve visited Sainsbury’s twice this week. On Thursday, there was a large fixture crammed with bedding plants and hardy cyclamen. Beautiful plants in great condition.
Yesterday when I called in, they were dried out, drooped and yellowing.

Despite the plants standing in trays which would hold water, no one has bothered to give them a drink. What a waste.

I was upset to see the bedding plants dried up in Lidl so I offered to take them away and was allowed! I think they just get binned.
I brought them home and most recovered.

What reason is your neighbour giving SillNanny321 for making you remove the willow.

I love trees but they are sometimes in the wrong place and yours does looks VERY big and bushy Stillnany would they accept it being trimmed down to a reasonable size it dose look very near the houses
I had to have a huge and I mean huge eucalyptus tree taken down it was too close to the house and had grown way above the three storeys in the wind it sounded and looked as if it would crash into the roof I hated having it down but it was necessary

I’m sorry, SillyNanny but that tree is way out of proportion for its location. I’m not surprised the neighbours are complaining.

You need to have it drastically cut back if you want to keep it but be prepared for the fact that being a willow it will respond by growing back very quickly.

It’s a shame. I don’t know why they borrow. They should make them cheaper to attract buyers then they would have some money rather than none. Tesco are the worse for this.
