    love work . . not just because i enjoy gardening, but also because they are very wasteful. we've had hudreds of pounds worth of plants sat in a dark garage for around two weeks now, with no water!! . . well today they finally gave in to the fact that they ordered to many and had no where for them . . . this is were i step in :-D

    2 trays of dahlia
    2 trays of petunia
    4 trays of geranium
    1 tray of cineraria

    god only knows where im putting them!!! . . . but i felt it was my duty to save them from the bin, or someone else :-D

    Great haul! The head gardener ought to have a math-check to find out how many plants cover what area! Fortunately, he/she seems to be number challenged and you are reaping the benefits. At least the plants are going to a good home!
    Let us see photos when they are in the ground and recovered from their ordeal (as I am sure they will under your care).

    Don't be surprised if you see a coach load of Stewers turing up in Grimsby some day soon!!
    ;)
    I hope those plants recover and grow strong and healthy. When they do I'd love to see pics of them all.
