the big plant sale

Ooooh, I bet I'd have come away with some plants, and I've vowed not to buy any more, lol!!

Well done for recognising the lead singer! I bet the girl thought you were pulling her leg for the photo about being the first buyer! Lol!!

You have some nice healthy looking plants there sandra, I like the Anthemis (cupaniana?) I wish we had those sort of plant sales in London.It looked so calm and civilised! I hope it went well for you.

I wish I was there I would have probably bought lots and lots and lots. I am a plant addict.

thanks Rbtkew and Michaella it was a lovely day i only succumed to one plant. a water hyacynth for my little pond in a bath garden...lol

Craftnutter lillys posted the photo on facebook and has been telling everyone. they are only a small local band but she follows them all over.

Nice blog, very interesting.

LOvely photos It looks like you had a brill day

Nice blog would loved to have been there myself.

Yes, lovely blog.
Sounds like a super day was had all round and some nice looking plants too. :o)

we had a great day thanks. they go to so much touble organising it. we get live music in the afternoon. and very nice burger and cake stall. there were over a thousand people there

Fantastic, I wish we had good plant sales like this round our way! Mind you, I haven't got room for anymore. I did, however, see a black Sambucas(like the one you planted recently) today at a Garden Centre and was very tempted but I was strong and resisted!!!! Well, I wasn't that strong. I did sucumb to a smashing Hemerocallis. Well, it won't take up too much room!!!

Paul there were some there yesterday but was on my best behavior..lol. hope u have been getting lots of gardening done this week. i have spent today weeding in my gaden all day. i have an open day in 5 weeks time so panic has set in. but i did get loads done today.

Glad you had a good day Sandra :o)

~Columbia Road on a Sunday is fantastic Robert~wish I lived near enough to go there easily!

thanks Hywel. i've seen columbia road on the telly looks very exciting.

I have been extremely busy Sandra, but not had very much chance to do as much as I'd like in my own garden. I usually enter my front garden in the local 'In Bloom' (gold last 2 years! getting big headed) but not going to be ready this year. As well as work, I'm constantly running my son around, as he's a comedian (doing clubs/holiday camps etc) but he doesn't drive! |So, i spent this weekend(from lunchtime Friday until 3am Sunday) on the road with him.I'm exhausted so only spent a few hours in garden today and yesterday. Oh well, we can't do everything can we??? Good luck with your open garden day.
Ps Columbia Road market is quite intersting Sandra. But only any good if you've got a strong bladder!!!! No public loos and all the pubs/cafes had signs saying their toilets weren't open when we went!!!

i used to drive my daughters to music lesson/performances, and swimming, the boys to football and rugby. but the oldest two now drive and help out with taking the twins here and there. i dont seem to have anymore spare time though.
well done on the 'in bloom' golds. have you posted photos?
my turn to stay home with the nursery this week as julian is doing some building work. i've spent the day potting up griselinia hedging. we get more good weather tomorrow.

Thanks, I put some of my last year front garden pics on when I first signed up to GOY in Jan but I haven't got previous year's as I didn't do digital till last year.Yes, I think dry here for rest of the week.
Funny you should say about the older ones driving your twins. I've been driving Graeme around since he moved back home last July(and went full time on the road as a comic) but his younger brother Lloyd (5 years younger )actually took him to a gig for the first time last night. (Clacton which isn't too far from us , only about 55 miles) Because I was shattered after Weymouth and Minehead on friday/Saturday.
