A Pat On The Back




Friday 2nd September 2011

Just to confuse you all I was at Tate House yesterday, Yes I know it wasn't a Monday but it is the big opening of the sensory courtyard on Saturday and everything has to be just right. For once we were blessed with a decent warm and sunny day, the best one in ages, we just hope for a repeat performance at the weekend. Everyone scurried around trimming and tidying, all the raised beds and pots have been dead-headed so no traces of decay remain and with a bit of luck all the remaining buds will be open for the big day. I bit the bullet and disposed of all the blown cauliflowers and just as we were wondering what to fill the gaps with Nick appeared bearing trays of homegrown seedlings, his timing really couldn't have been better. Between us it is quite amazing what we have accomplished in such a short space of time and I think we all deserve our pat on the back on Saturday. More about the opening with pictures on Monday.
