We’re in!!!! “Who needs Marigolds?” Yes, I know I do, but I have never met such a tricky plant. However, my fabulous team has got us into the RHS Chelsea Flower Show yet again with their wonderful artwork. Two of my gang, Lola and Gabby, have won the prize of having their designs made up to be used as part of the backdrop to the Miracle Gro Stand and will be coming with me to the show. We will be manning the stand on the afternoon of Wednesday 24th May so if you are going that day please pop along and see us, we would love to meet you. We will be in the Great Pavilion at the Learning/Discovery Zone. Here are some of my team doing their pre-planting soil tests. I will be taking two other gardeners as well but they don’t know who yet so I can’t tell you before them, it wouldn’t be fair. And, if I’m honest, their place depends on the dreaded Marigolds. I’m talking to them, loving them, watering and feeding them, short of hugging them and tucking them into their pots at night there isn’t a lot more I can do. I have 5 weeks to get them “show” ready and it can be done. If I pull this one off I will crown myself “Queen of the Marigold”. Watch this space!
