I've nearly finished the last curtain now - just need to add the (full) tab for hanging it. I've enjoyed making these as they haven't gone catastrophically wrong at every turn! Now I am tasked with making a little Barbie-doll quilt for "I". That shouldn't take too long anyway.
Whilst D, E and I were watching "Fallout" last night, I gave E my gardening magazine to look at and she noticed a little piece about Moors Meadow Garden at Bromyard. We've decided us girls (Tam included) will go there in May for my late birthday day out. LINK HERE.
Meanwhile, they have been to the garden centre (Midway Plants at Penybont) and bought lots of herbs, veg and a fabulous pinky-purple Azalea, plus a tame Blackberry, so they have been busy getting these in the ground. Emma knows very little about gardening, Danny nothing, but I am on hand to advise. I've given over the three raised beds which were full of Golden Marjoram and brambles, and they've put herbs in one, and others are for the veg they bought, suitably pepped up with some farmyard manure. (Peas, Cauliflower, Spring Onions, Beetroot and Rocket for starters.)
Then I decided I needed some plant therapy, and went there myself yesterday. Compost and FYM came home with me, with a red Lupin, a Delphinium (can't have too many really) and a new to me rose. Not a David Austin, but it was a better price at £12 and is called Let's Celebrate and has flowers of purple/mauve/silver/white which sound pretty. The link shows how pretty the flower is.
Over the winter, the 14 loose sheep made mincemeat of the ivy end of the hedge out the front and there were just twisted ropes of 20 year old bare ivy stems, so I set to and cut them back to the wall, and the remains of an old strip once planted showed up. I need to dig that over (lots more young ivy running through the soil) and plant it - the rose for starters. Plus other plants perhaps not attractive to sheep!!
Enjoy your weekend which is looming.
