Default stealing from Garden Centres

I am very fond of Fuchsias and earlier this week I was wandering and
looking at fuchsias in my local garden center, I found several that I
liked,. Fuchsias are so easy to propagate I wondered how many people do
snip bits off and take them home ? If anyone from Coinros just outside
Lydney Glos.- well worth a visit if you are in the area - is reading this,
no, I didn't steal any bits I am coming back to buy the plants as soon as I
can :-)

As you go round Garden Centres etc, just look at the people who are
discreetly 'hiding' little 'Doggie Bags'. No not for picking up their dog
mess, but little bags to take a snipping.

Seen it. Not too often I hasten to add but seen it.

Admission. A lot of our hedges are from when we did just that on or from
overhanging hedges on the Cliff Path near us.

And here is a tip to newbie gardeners with bare gardens or those who want to
start from scratch and ask 'What will grow?' The answer? Whatever is growing
in neighbour's gardens :-))
