It felt cool and autumnal this morning, cool enough to have to wear an extra layer of clothes. It was ideal for doing some potting although I didn’t get much done. Split up some Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’, this always sells well and someone bought the last 4 plants the other day. Its a bit difficult to second guess which plants customers will want to buy. I mainly grow ones which I like and which are good ‘doers’. The trouble is that there are lots of plants which just never sell and I should really stop growing them. People hardly ever buy Aster divaricatus or Anaphalis triplinervis, I wonder why. This year we have a good quantity of a golden rod with the name of ‘Fireworks’, another easy plant to grow which has looked wonderful for the last few weeks but only 2 or 3 have been bought. I will gain from having these unsold plants and will plant more in the garden, I like them even if no-one else does!

After lunch the sun came out and it was warm for a couple of hours so we both did some work in the garden.

We still have some bargain plants left which are just £2 each but you have now missed out on our 20% discount on everything else, that offer was just for September. Rain due in the next few days???
