We are going to ours on 22nd as son doesn't have to work on Sundays. Flower shows are flogging quite expensive stuff. I wish to go on Saturday when we will have a longer day, but as son has to work, very little I can do.
Your garden is going strong, Perki! Such a lovely and rich display. Mine is full of gaps and holes.Foxes don't help - they scraped away my plants and created holes and retarded the growth of my dahlias. Amazing that your greenhouse is still full of stuff. My propagators have been retired as the lack of moisture has killed a lot of cuttings. The soil was so dry. I kept putting cuttings in and they kept dying on me. I then realised my whole lean to is a giant propagator.
I have now 2 greenhouses waiting for me to be put back up. But to be honest, this area, especially the south and west facing aspects of my garden, is so hot that there is really no need for a greenhouse. It was so hot yesterday when travelling in the car. So all Wyevales are sold - the one near us to Lincolnshire brothers Briggs, one in Chelmsford to Longacres which is already up and running. Rayleigh could be to propeerty developer and Ongar one could be to another one. Went to one Harlow Garden Centre and it was most beautiful - even with a train running for fun at the end of the garden. Very beautiful gc and it was owned by Blue Diamond.
Had a fun day yesterday.
I bought a yellow Agastache, a red echinacea Tomato soup, another tray of box, a tub of fat balls at £4 for 50.
Yes, serious hot days ahead
I wish I could dish out some sunshine! Scared of the stuff! Only good thing is that gas bill might be a bit lower, but the lack of rain will seriously work me hard!
