    Good morning.

    Storm during the night with a beautifully lit up sky!!  Lots of good rain for this thirsty earth.  The air feels much clearer. @Obelixx   Maybe the storm has passed over you.

    Lunch on with our lovely English friends.

    Have a pleasant day everyone.

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Morning all, no promised storms or rain here they passed us by, just flashes if lightning around so just been out and done some watering. Rain forecast for later....we shall see.
    Hope all goes well for you and Hubby today @Hostafan1 and the home he is going to is a "good" one.

    Morning all.  Very pleasant out there this morning.  Was just thinking - the garden street market I organise will be back to its usual time of May next year.  Am thinking of asking Bungay in Bloom to run a plant creche for it and to sell some kind of plant carrying bag there too. The last garden fair I went to had a creche but the stallholders and they just put everything in plastic bags.  What would Forkers like to see for sale at plant fairs for carrying their plants?

    Hi @didyw ... good idea ... I'm a big fan of cotton string bags ... this sort of thing ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087CSFT43?tag=sa-symuk-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&geo=gb&locale=en_gb&doi=2019-12-10&cmpgn=nov19&o=APN12175&p2=^ET^nov19^

    Not from there tho' ... I've bought them for a quarter of the price at a greengrocer in Cornwall so there must be cheaper ones available somewhere

    Many years ago when we were trying to save the planet by using other than plastics, we used to crochet those bags.  You can get so much in them, very stretchy.
