With just over a week to go till we open I hesitate to say but I think we are on track.  Friends and neighbours and bringing extra plants for us to sell on the day, and offers of help and cakes are coming thick and fast.  Non of these offers are declined.  The difficulty with the plants is that I invariably find a few that I rather fancy myself and end up putting quite a lot of money in the plant kitty towards those I have purchased. This is something the under gardener is quite in ignorance of. Hope he does not read this.
