Arabella, we have 2 thin...Thanks for your comments.<br />Arabella, we have 2 things left in our garden from it's existence before us; a weigela & a viburnum tinus. I would rather have your box any day.<br />Lia, right on.<br />Edith, oh dear, discipline is just not my strong point. I know all the theory but at the end of the day I love a good smattering of dolly mixtures. <br />I see you understand Katya.<br /><br />If plants are sold in smaller pots I will buy 3 Sharon, or try to split a big one but, you know, just 1 of something to see how it goes..<br /><br />Victoria, Ikea is brilliant providing you go at the right time of day.

I also love box balls, but I agree they are eye-wateringly expensive.

I have also vowed never to buy just one plant anymore; if I'm having it, I have to buy three or non at all! My other problem is that if I do buy something new, something old has to be ripped out; and I don't like doing that...I've told my husband we need to move to a house with a bigger garden, but no luck yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838860461011352582.post-59320595654118829152010-07-22T16:05:35.232+01:002010-07-22T16:05:35.232+01:00but dolly mixture has it's merits too.

Box clouds, box waves, box balls - one can never have too many. BUT, one can have too many perennials and annuals of different species dotted throughout the garden giving the effect of 'Dolly Mixture' in a sweet shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838860461011352582.post-74750803811960294412010-07-22T09:41:21.625+01:002010-07-22T09:41:21.625+01:00I really love that.

But mine were all purchased from a short-sighted women's fairtrade co-operative in Kuala Lumpur at a very reasonable £120 each.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838860461011352582.post-51928156570638165112010-07-22T09:26:06.619+01:002010-07-22T09:26:06.619+01:00Ha ha!

I have one large box plant which is probably the only thing left in the garden that we inherited from previous owners. It looks like a giant misshapen mushroom. Anyway I'm now thinking of ripping out all the lovely shrubs around it and just planting box balls to achieve a Chelsea effectArabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.com
