Evening all, back from Harlow Carr, prairie planting looking fabulous. Had to keep heading for a shady seat, a beautiful 23 degrees. Afternoon tea in Betty's, lovely frangipan tart and homemade raspberry lemonade. Lovely drive back across the moors. I like to pretend I'm a rally driver! RHS selling Christmas cards and crackers ..... Oh no, I've mentioned the dreaded C word!
Will do Kate - they just need to fill out a bit . Thanks for the idea of using ajuga . I got a bit of a bargain £1 99 for a huge pot of Burgundy Glow so I split it into 2 for the baskets at the front .
Flo, I didn't have much choice in the matter. Baskets at front got battered when we had that really windy day and some of the trailing begonias got damaged. They looked all straggly and a bit of a mess . I've saved the tubers and would like to know what to do with them now, please, if anyone can help.
Glyn , it looks lovely , I'll put that on my to-do list . Don't think we'll have time tomorrow though, more's the pity, we've got a few visits to fit in and it's more Yorkshire side where we're going.

Glyn, naughty step - NOW! And the RHS can join you there for starting the rot!
Sorry - it went before I finished !
Glyn , meant to say glad you enjoyed your day out. We are over your way tomorrow , visiting and having a meander about.
Any pics of your day out ?
Jean, found 2 nice ones on heir website.

Thanks for the pics
I have just watched the film One Day and now I need some cake
I have never see that film but I believe it's a real tearjerker so I would probably need cake as well. And chocolate and ice cream !
Right - off to watch the second part of A mothers son. Still haven't caught up with the planner !!!
Jean, have a lovely day visiting, does that mean there will be lots of tea and cake?
