Sounds like it all went very well Manics (I must have missed your original post!)was the sale on for all 3 days?

all three days, saturday was brill, sunshine and warm all day, sunday a bit disappointing, very cold and overcast, monday a bit better..running at 1,800 so far with lots more to come in, miserable beggars only made about 15.00 in donations to the alzheimers and meningitis charities we were supporting  :-\
still, our donation will boost it up  ;D

Shame I live in north London, but I just love buying hanging baskets at plant sales, they are so, so brilliant.  I have done my two myself this year but the one I bought at a school fete was very good and good value for £10 admired for everyone that passed my house and was well filled with plants.  Strawberry plants were £1 each in Morrisons today (so expensive).  I just love plant sales.

A POUND for a strawberry plant, I thought we were pushing it at 50p for a good sized one  :o

Well done to you and everyone involved that is a fantastic amount raised.
