WhooHoo freebie plants

[Kazz]

Well my luck is in Reg who lives opposite with his wife are selling their house, he's going blind a side effect of a degenerative disease and their son (professional footballer)can't say who as he is well known and they don;t want the stress worry of press every 5 minutes anyhow he has brought them a bunglow which they have had adapted for Reg. Well his house is up for sale and they have had an offer and Reg has popped over tonight (they have moved into the bungalow now) so the house is empty and said if I want any plants from the front garden then please come and take them :D he has loads of cromostia and foregt me knot the "perrenial one" gorgeous, plus some roses which I wont; take as they are lovely but established and I would not feel right taking those.:? I will take some of his other perrenials etc.

What a kind, thoughtful man Reg is to remember his kind, thoughtful neighbour.....:cool:

What a lovely gesture Kazz...and a lovely reminder for you of him and his family :cool:

[Kazz]

When I take the afore mentioned plants up he wants me to do some up for him too so he can take them with him too. He can't dig anymore.

[Moli]

Thats so nice of him Kazz, he knows they will be going to a good home!...:)

Freebies are great - and you get to keep memories of your old neighbour too.
Hope you get a nice new neighbour.

[Kazz]

Thanks all.

I don't think any of you would be aware but do you know I have never had a NOT nice neighbour, only nice people move by us around here we are all nice people.:)

[Mags]

You are very lucky Kazz, I thought there was always one somewhere!:roll::lol:

He is very thoughtful of you Kazz, but in my job that is a major problem!!! Unless he has stated on his fixture and fittings list that he is taking them, it could cause a stink when the owners move in and find no plants in their garden!!!

[Hreow]

I'd imagine that that is one of the reasons you're taking the "renewable" plants but leaving the long-term, structural plants?

[Kazz]

No I can see that would cause a problem but we are only taking small pieces of perrenial plants and the new people are apparently digging up the garden and black paving it :cry: but I can see the trouble that would cause.

[Hreow]

Hmmm... perhaps you could ask them if they're keeping the roses, then. And if not - offer to dig up and remove for free. If you've got the space for established roses. :-)

[Kazz]

Yeah its a shame I haven't got room - and I am always dubious of roses with the thorns, but I suspect I could find some space for one or two, my next door neighbours are roses mad I may have a word with Roy (next door) when they are back from holiday, I don't think the new people will move straight in and start digging well I hope not. I will ask them when they have settled in, or as soon as I see diggers.
