Hope to see some of you

 

Thanks for all the lovely comments :o :thumb:

With a bit of luck some GC members will be near enough to make :gnthb:

 

Hi Strongy,

With one week to go they are doing well :gnthb:



Thanks very much for sending them. They are under special guard :hehe:





We still have to sort out our plant sale areas and price up everything as well as geting the garden into shape.











I dug up some aqualegia the other day and bagged them up for sale. Just have to make sure that they don't droop during the week.





I just came indoors for a cuppa and shall go back out there and do some more mowing.

 

Can you move a bit nearer me please shiney? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some nice weather on the day. It looks so good with all your hard work, well done!

 

Hi John,

We can't get a big enough vehicle to put the garden on. Otherwise we would have had a road show :hehe:

The forecast at the moment is good for Saturday :gnthb:
