Geoff and Binnsy have been up at Tatton today and finished laying all the mypex and edging for the paths, which is a great job done, they also had a bit of time to dig over some of the borders and reported that the marquee now has its roof and sides on.
Myself and Jonathan have been through all the herbaceous plants that we have grown in large pots and selected those that will be great for the garden, the lads from Despatch have now started to collect them up ready to be transported on Friday. A lot of other plants had already been lifted and cleaned so again we chose the best ones for planting. We also started to select all the plants that will be needed for the marquee on Saturday, and those that we will be selling, so the Despatch shed is overflowing with Danish trolleys full of stock all separated into different delivery days – oh and all the stock for the garden centre is still being processed as well!
The wagon is loaded with crates, stands, trestle tables, banners etc ready to go tomorrow so we can set out the basics for the marquee. The large Acers and other large background plants are also on there so they can be positioned tomorrow.
There are 6 of us going tomorrow so we should get everything done that is planned and I’m hoping there might be time to do a bit more work on the garden, at least get all the borders dug over so that they are ready for planting on Friday.
