I couldn't believe how busy it was, I failed to spot you amongst the masses. Were you not wearing your wildaboutbritain antlers?

There was some interesting stuff. I thought the primula stall was impressive if you like that kind of thing. I just got a cornflower with big yellow flowers which I thought the bees might like before scuttling away to find some shade.

That's an idea. I have one honeysuckle. It is not one with a lovely scent but it has not been eaten yet. I am currently thinking about what to grow up my "rose" arches, having given up on roses! I will give honeysuckle a try. I was also planning some clematis - I don't think they get eaten either.

This is a great thread. I love seeing peoples gardens and getting ideas (or maybe I'm just nosey?)

It worked well on both sides, so if you don't have a plot of your own, perhaps you could do similarly and remove some of the worries of living with a garden the owner can no longer maintain, in return for the pleasure it would give you.

I love that idea tinkerbell, I have even advertised for someone who wants to garden but doesnt have one... no luck. Mind you, living in the heard of the countryside perhaps I shouldnt be suprised. I have nearly 1/5 acre and I cant do any of it!
