Well we did it again yesterday... another trip to get a few more bargains to fill a few gaps.
Mandy said we were using her car more like a "wheelbarrow"
The "wheelbarrow" description is probably more apt than flower pot...
...plastic bags at least kept the back seat clean.
A few of our purchases... most are still in their pots as we try to get the balance right.
Another purchase was this all metal peanut feeder... another attempt to keep the squirrels at bay.
Coal Tit
I know they will find a way to destroy it... but hopefully it will last longer than it's predecessors.

The garden is looking good Andrew.
The metal peanut feeders are good. It slows them down a lot; but they still squeeze the nuts through the holes.
what the wheelbarrow brings home the birds will love and so do I
good luck with the varmints!
Those nasty squirrels! Pretty flowers and I love the cute birds. Great shots!
That wheelbarrow looks just the job Andrew! Your garden is going to look stunning with all those colourful plants.
It'll be interesting to see how that feeder fares?...[;o)
Whilst you were at the garden centre I spotted a squirrel buying a tin opener at Morrisons, but I am sure you have nothing to worry about! ;)
Hi Andrew... Looks like you two are having a fun time, and the garden gets the benefit, as well as the birds butterfly and you !!
Do hope you bought a butterfly bush plant, they love it!!
Love Heather Wilde's comment!!

Your garden is looking much nicer than mine right now:) Nicely done.
Hi Andrew What a novel wheelbarrow. Your garden is looking beautiful.
Who needs a pick-up truck, right? LOL! Your garden is beautiful! Nice bird shots!
The tits are cute. Your garden is looking good. I love all the different colours.
It all looks so beautiful, Andrew. Bravo on your efforts!
Oh the money we spend in our attempts to outwit squirrels.
Really nice looking wheelbarrow and love the bird shots!
Looks like you hit the jackpot at the garden center. Beautiful shot of the bird
An adorable selection of images!

That looks like a very sturdy bird feeder! Hope it stymies the squirrels. Love the flower in the backseat.
Beautiful shots and the birds are just fantastic!!!
Best of luck with the new feeder Andrew.
The garden looks great .. very colourful.
Nice, both the birds and the SAAB!
good luck with the new bird feeder; it looks great and the flowers will bring a long-term joy; lovely purchases
Good company, Andrew! I also use the back of my car for a "garden shed". Think you're going to have a beauty when all these plants are settled in the garden. And you're very nice--am I supposed to shell the peanuts for the blue jays? :-) If they were as cute as your blues today, perhaps I would!
I have to say those shots of the flowers in the car could be print ads for sure. I love them!
Oh yeah, cute bird shots too. :)
I hope your gorgeous birds get a few feeds before the squirrels get there!
Beautiful flowers and a very nice "container" for them. The birds look to be enjoying the nuts.
Sweet little bird! I bought a metal feeder too. Didn't keep the squirels away. I have had great luck with a pole systemthat hangs 4feeders and has a baffle on the pole. The critters cannot get to the feeders!
Nice to see these garden birds again - I could call them by name, but the spam filter may get upset!!
Also like the sparrow post from last week, which I think I missed.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Beautiful flowers. That feeder should give the squirrels a bit of a challenge.
