A day out at the Big Green Plant Show/Farmer's Market, Lutterworth 8...

What a shame it rained!!! Ive waiting all day for it to stop raining. There s work to be done in the garden. Wish him upstairs would give us gardeners a break and let us workers get out in the garden at weekends. Can't it just rain at night time lol Still raining

At least you got your swops Richard that cucumber and peper cross sounds interesting, you had a bargain there, will look forward to seeing the geranium in flower bet its a beauty, you done well for your veg bit. Wonderful place now I know where you are :o) Sorry the rain spoilt it for you, I m more daring my day, was trundling along in the pouring rain down the canal, will upload pictures later on, have to down load them first. I was drenched and freezing.

It would have been much better if the sun had been shining Great-never mind it was a change. Just noticed the time stamp on my camera is an hour early We got there at 9.30 not 8.30..lol :-)

I thought it was awful early Richard! Today we have had glorious sunshine nearly all day. There is still a chilly wind though; but I managed to get a few things bought and planted, and now I'm watering again (with the sprinkler), trying to get the grass patches to germinate! We have so little rain here, although it is often cloudy and cold. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. We could all do with a bit of warmth though...molly is snoozing in the conservatory. In there it is roasty toasty! ....sigh...its a dog's life!

dont rub it in Karen lol Its still...................raining, really dark sky, maybe we'll have thunder hope so that will make the garden grow. Didn't notice the time richard on the pics. Next door woke me up at 2.30 a.m music blarring... Students!!!!

Thanks for sharing your day with us, no rain here very sunny but also very cold.

Aw sorry richard, its just that scottish weather has such a bad reputation south of the border that I feel I have to point out when it is good!

sorry it rained for you richard but glad you got something while you were there, thanx for sharing with us ;o))

Glad you had a bit of sun Karen and that you could get out with your sprinkler and water your bare grass patches :-)
Great, Students ..lol where would we be without them!

Enjoyed your blog, Rich,sorry to hear your day got a bit dampened, we got pretty wet at the Malvern Spring garden show on Saturday, it somehow takes the shine off of a day out doesn't it? lol! :~))

We got pretty soggy,and several times almost decapitated by umbrellas!!, but still a good day out, Rich. Came back with 6 Clematis, and a heavy cold that went to flu!! Have been a pathetic heap ever since! lol :~))

You had a nice lot of clematis Flori. Hope you feel better soon :-)

I'm getting there, Rich! Have got college this evening too.......
