    Rose Gauntlet

    Bit late, but we use these low cost welders gloves which protect against Pyracantha, Berberis and Rose thorns etc. A bit firm to start with but soon become suppler.

    Rare Plant Fair 2026

    When I started gardening back in 1997, you could occasionally find an unusual plant at a GC. Not now though. The stock is identical wherever you go, even down to uniform labels.

    Begonias - Cascade type

    Go for whichever is available in the colours/varieties you want at a price that suits you. If you buy plug plants they should develop tubers that you can keep for subsequent years.
