PLANT SWAP MEET

[Rachel J]

Left you a message on your phone this morning actually!

Very good excuse for him to get out of the washing up isn't it?! Though I nearly joined him after falling face first off Silverado the other day - almost have 2 black eyes and a very bruised foot and knee....

Still can't get out of the washing up or digging though

A mans work is from sun to sun....you know the rest!
Was Silverado being a goon?

[Rachel J]

I think he was punch drunk on spring grass! Treated my like I was an alien from the time he set eyes on me that morning, and behaved as if he was a totally wild horse that was never handled. Up until that day he'd been quieter and slower than a snail being ridden, but that morning I got my left foot in the stirrup and my right leg 3/4 of the way over his back, and the rest is history!

[Kayd]

Good thing you have the cure for bruises....hope the rest of you is ok!
Went out last night under the cover of darkness for some willow, my tax dollars at work...hehehehehe

[Rachel J]

Hope you were wearing your invisibility cloak! 

Forgot to add that there may well be some homemade bread and cookies/cakes of some description at the next Swap Meet too

We had an early customer turn up for coffee & the swap meet - or maybe they just wanted to help finished the raised bed that I'm constructing........

The kids had a lovely time at the swap on Saturday, and I especially enjoyed the Welsh Cakes which were a new treat for me!

I was happy to bring home two new species of houseplants, one of which I cannot find a name for, but which I'm sure will survive my neglectful nature since it appears to be some kind of succulent.  The other is locally known as a Swedish Ivy (Though it is neither Swedish in origin nor is it an ivy!) or Plectranthus.  It must be a male plant since my houseplant bible says it must be pinched back "ruthlessly" else it straggles!

We had a lovely time, and hope to meet even more green-minded people next time.
