It seems I just can’t help myself when we go to Sunday Market – if I see
a plant which really appeals, then I’ve just got to have it.   It’s only later
I have to work out just where the poor plant is going to find space in
my garden!

This week’s find was a varigated pittosporum, similar to the one
pictured below.

The friend with whom I visited the market wanted a pittosporum to replace
a plant which had died, and was lucky enough to find exactly the variety he
wanted.   Naturally, it was one I’d also wanted for ages, but hadn’t found
before, so I had to have one too.

It’s not really a spectacular plant, but pittosporums are really great hedging
plants, and are excellent for planting along the fence line – they grow
quickly and hide fences and the neighbours.

The pittosporum count in my garden is now six, and I’m sure if I find
another which can add to the hedging effect along the fence, then it will be
brought home.    Can’t help myself;  I’m addicted to plants.
