The bluebells are out and so are our visitors, flocking to see us in astonishing numbers. It was our NGS day at the weekend and we raised £1,000 – not bad for a little place.
Today’s propagation workshop was booked up weeks ago and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves – like big kids in a compost sand pit. And who wouldn’t?
On the upside, group visit tomorrow, Bank Holiday weekend coming up, plants flying out of the door, Tatton Show place confirmed, veg plot really popular. On the downside, I have missed two important college sessions and have seriously painful toothache. Two nurofen lasts an hour, and I spend the next three holding my face and counting the hours to my dentist appointment. Joy.
I’m also doing a morning demonstration on Manchesters’ Channel M on Tuesday. Hopefully my face will be fixed by then and I’ll be able to smile without wincing.
That’s all folks – see addition to the Corrections entry re Geranium himalayense ‘Plenum’.

I think the geraniums will be okay – first blooms from bare root divisions in a polytunnel are often not typical. Once they establish and cool down they’ll revert to type.
Interesting! I’ll put them on probation for a bit – and none of the ones outside have flowered yet so I’ll give them all a second chance…..
