Wyevale had a sale yesterday, all the veg and flower seeds half price and some plants at 75% off. I got an Actinidia Kolomikta for £2, a stunning plant with green leaves splashed with pink, as if they'd been dipped. The plant's also a drug for cats, they munch the leaves and fall over.
Technically I suppose this is theft, but on a bee keeping forum I read about guerilla gardeners in Eccles. On the day the green waste is collected these two chaps went round early in the morning and swiped all the bags from a posh street. The houses had large, established gardens to the bags were stuffed with laurel branches, privet, bay, viburnum, escallonia, beech and yew and so on. The two bods got three hundred and fifty cuttings from the sacks. They planted a mixed hedge the length of the allotment.
