Oh my heart goes out to that poor ceanothus,

I think it's heading to the 'bargain basement' setion in the garden centre and you get the same feeling as saving orphans or abandoned puppies as you select who you will take home for some TLC.

You are hoarding everything,yoghurt pots, milk bottles,tin cans,toilet rolls,lollipop sticks,newspaper,polystyrene,tyres, old bins,recycling tubs,cot bars,glass etc.:eek:
To go to a tip (not that YOU would be throwing much out) whilst suffering from this serious Gardeners condition would be fatal!
