    Are you able to buy a plant from the garden to take back to your own?

    I was hoping Perennial would win it, IMO it was by far the best garden in the Show. We were a bit confused though as we thought the programme started at 8pm so switched on at 7.55pm  but only just caught the presentation bit then it seemed to end?

    Had another busy day and the weather has been glorious, warm and sunny with a nice breeze. Finished raking out all the paving joints at last - now need to fill them all in again with the new resin mortar - hopefully tomorrow if the weather holds. Then it will be onto the next job on my list.

    Can't understand why your OH has still not got a date for his op @Busy-Lizzie. Would it be worth contacting the Patient Liaison team at the hospital - or even your MP?

    Sounds like a really lovely, peaceful walk Dove, I'm the same as Busy-Lizzie as my OH can't walk far either.

    Congratulations @Chicky well deserved.
    @Lizzie27 call the secretary that works for his consultant.  It's a job I used to do and to be honest being so overworked and stressed those that complained the most got to the top of the list.

    Congratulations @Chicky!  There was a whole thread on my FB timeline this morning where everyone was saying that this garden should have got GOLD!!!  They were not wrong.

    @Yviestevie, do you mean me or @Lizzie27? OH has called several times and written 2 letters. Apparently the consultant's secretary has left and a new secretary will be starting soon but she's on holiday.

    Well done @chicky and the team, well deserved.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️
    @PatE 🌈 

     I slept like a log. 
    It’s a lovely morning … I was thinking of planting the toms and squashes out today but I’ve checked the weather and we’ve got a couple of chilly nights coming up with temps down to 6C. Maybe I’ll wait until Wednesday when it looks as it it’s going to warm up again …

    Morning all.

    We are going to the monthly Farmers Market in the village hall. The plant lady will be there but I don't think there is any more room.

    Morning all,

    I wrote a long post earlier but then it said I didn't have permission to post....????

    Anyway, I was just saying hello and wishing all well.
