Enough to give me palpitations!

This morning I got up early and went to collect my newspaper and on the way back it was my intention to have a peep in the garden centre as soon as they opened. The walk over the car park was enough to lift my soul with the birds that were singing. It's hard to believe that this is in the city centre but there was very little traffic noise as I suppose that most people weren't up even although it was 9am.
When I went into the garden centre the sight that awaited was enough to give me palpitations! They have just had a delivery of this season's plants. WOW!!!
There were loads of annuals, so many that I found it very hard to choose so I got a basket and wandered round. Then I wandered round again! At this rate I thought, I would be here most of the morning and I needed to come back later with my trolley because I wanted a bag of compost. So I selected a few plants to 'keep me going' and I also bought a couple of packets of seeds. I got some dwarf sunflowers and some Californian poppies which I love. They will seed themselves so that I have some for next year too.
I went back later and got the compost the spent the day finishing the work in the garden. All my little plants are in their new homes and I've already made a list of what else I will need although there isn't really a lot of room. I might buy a couple more perennials too.
Tomorrow I'm off to a garden open day at Goldney House with a friend who used to work there when she had got her horticultural degree. It only opens occasionally so I'm really looking forward to that and who knows, perhaps it will give me more ideas, or make me jealous!
