Our Polish cucumbers are looking very healthy in the greenhouse as you can see , but our sweetcorn is suffering in the rain . Thankfully , next year this won ’ t be a problem . Daina , at Beaconsfield Garden Centre , has given us two wonderfully huge poly tunnels . These couldn ’ t be sold as some minor parts were missing but instead of just throwing them away she thought of us . Thank you Daina , you are a star !
I have spent time helping my daughter deliver her Hiya Bucks magazines this summer and it ’ s a fantastic opportunity to get ideas from people ’ s gardens as you march down the many driveways . I ’ ve seen enormous ornamental thistles , stunning ferns and the idea of growing vegetables in raised beds in the front garden , which I would never have thought of , but I love . I even came away from one lovely resident with some seeds from the fabulous peachy orange poppies she caught me admiring as I popped her copy through the letterbox . You do have to make sure you don ’ t look like you ’ re up to no good , which isn ’ t easy for me , when I see a plant I absolutely love . Thankfully , I wasn ’ t arrested once !
It does prove though that gardeners are the loveliest of people , and Holtspur is full of them .
Happy Gardening Laura Barton
