Yesterday at the Garden Show was pretty busy. Sun was shinning alhough it was not partricularly warm. I worked a 2 1/2 hour shift at Loudheed House booth, all dressed up, which attracted lots of attention. I think the other volunteers who work that weekend should be dressed too athough that might be abit of a problem since all the interpretors have their own costumes. Quite a number of old friends and aquaintances stopped to speak after a quick take to realise it was me!

Wandered around afterwards thru the show but this year did not see much I want to spend money on; Amazon Iron had their usually plant support items but I forgot to check what I want to get so have to go out to the shed this morning and do a count!
MOst of the type I like are now available locally but they are thin, plastic covered items and I pefer to buy the heavier iron supports ( which will nicely rust) and support a local industry.
I bought these spiral last year to try for peony supports but was not really thrilled with them- prefer my usual solution with grids and flop bars.
