A Fine Feast

Plant sales, come and buy!

The peach house 

Perishingly cold wind and an unexpected prolonged period of icy rain had us scurrying for cover on Saturday morning. Thus trapped indoors we made use of the time by weeding the pots of dahlia tubers and taking cuttings of those that were grown sufficiently, it just goes to show what a little heat can do as the couple I took home are enormous in comparison due to living in a nice warm kitchen. Meanwhile Shandy had caught another rabbit and made a big fuss of showing us her prize, (not for the faint-hearted this next bit), her elation didn't last long however as Giles made her share it with Bisto, he split it in two with a spade and each dog got half which they devoured with great gusto fur and teeth and all yum! Luckily they decided to dine out of earshot! Next the greenhouse got a good tidy out and we put the plants that are for sale back outside to tempt any passing visitors with, there is a really good selection of unusual hardy perennials that you wont find in the usual garden centres, so come and have a look! The weather did improve enough for us to prune the buddlejas and fushias in the afternoon but I was still grateful to get home for a nice hot shower, the recent hot spell has spoilt me and now I'm fed up with being cold all day, roll on summer.
