Believe it or not this was a pile of bricks and rubble on Friday, and while it may not look so pretty just yet, to me it looks fabulous - fabulously rubble free...hooray!
And by Monday it looked like this...
On the planting front its been all hands to the deck. Im holding a plant sale in our village this Saturday to raise funds for our village church. It sounded like a great idea when I suggested it last year but now I'm panicking ...the green house is only half full...
On the plus side, the cuttings I took last weekend are already taking well. This is the Eau de Cologne mint I grew last year...it smells amazing...
and my phone is starting to fill up with messages to say that friends and neighbours have been taking cuttings too...phew! fingers crossed we'll have stuff to sell after all...
Now I just need people to come...I sense sleepless nights ahead...
I used to do a plant sale every year for the carnival at the school where I taught. WE used to make a great profit but things started to take over as we were the only ones growing. The carnival was in July so dominated the space in our greenhouse!
ReplyDelete18 purple salvias, 18 pink cosmos , 6 cabbage and 6 Brussels sprouts , en route Friday night!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I can see how that would take over!!! I'm crossing everything in the hopoe that others are bringing stuff, and in the mean time I'm potting up everything with a root on it!
