Or that’s what they thought at East End Garden Centre when I picked up my six bales of straw. Borrowed Kevin’s truck and Ken drove. It almost smells like the fair.

The Cornus venus is making up for its lack of blooms with a great colour show.

Love the Jacobs ladder.

The pots are all emptied and put away. Just one rubber tree and a cactus to bring in before it freezes hard. On the balcony they are a bit sheltered.
