Day 8 - Plants move to showground

Oh how I got myself worked up over the lemon today, we eventually got it into place at about 3pm and it still has at least 25 lemons attached, quite a miracle, they are so ripe, I thought the tree would be be bare of fruit.... It's all looking great, the first window is in position and frames the lemon wonderfully. It's always great when the plants arrive, the heat is a problem, but we will cope. The Herb, chilli and tomato wall is slotted into space and the all the pipework and pump is installed for the rills and reflective pool.

Day 7 - Packing up 17 danish trollies

Very hot day today, Adele and Alex met me at the nursery and we packed all the plants onto the danish trollies ready to be delivered tomorrow. Should be an exciting day, just hope our wonderful lemon holds onto its lemons, we are tying them on with stockings for the journey. Thanks to Palmstead for helping us with our deliveries. Should see the strawberry rills and table in tomorrow and windows fixed, all exciting stuff......

Day 6 - Nursery Visits
