Purple Plants

31/05/2026

If like me you reuse plant labels, you may also have suffered the frustration of 'I literally just saw a label for that and now I can't find it 💁'

So I had a little think about it and decided that a little set of drawers would be just the thing. 30 smaller ones that I can label A to Z with room for pens and spare labels.

Undecided about the bigger drawers, probably not enough room for all my seed packets but I know I'll find a use for them 🙂

And finally, I have planted a few annuals out. Morning Glory, sweet peas and stocks (or possibly phlox, can't remember 🤔!)

Meant to post this last night.... excuse the birds - we have lots of families lurking, as well as a very vocal woodpecker ☺️

🥵 I'm a bit done with this heatwave now. I keep doing bits of jobs in the garden but it really is too hot. As well as making sure you stay hydrated, standing plants in trays of water will help keep them from flagging.

Please also put some water out for the wildlife. I have several watering holes in the garden, in different places as well as some containers that have collected rain water. For slightly deeper water, pop a stone or similar in so that insects or small animals can get back out.

I've started clearing where the greenhouse was, hopefully we can get the new chicken run up and the 'new' (old!) veg patch up and running even if only partially for this year 🤞🙏

Although we sold a lot of plants yesterday, we still have quite a few seeking to adorn people's gardens 🪴

We have some annual flowers and veggie plants, as well as a few perennials.

I'll get a list done and post it in due course 💜

Oh goodness. After a bit of a stressful morning ( 5 batches of scones... One burnt 🙈) baking and some last minute potting up, running late to my own event 🙈... We made it!
I say we - you, all our lovely customers who came, and our fabulous helpers, you all made it.

We can't thank you enough 💜 without you all, the event wouldn't be a success.

As a rough idea, we made an amazing £872

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We hope / plan to be back next year.
