[Oldhippy]

Shall we be able to take a tour again this year, Deb?

[saddad]

Technically tours are on Sunday 6th June aand first Sunday in Sept., when we open for NGS and charge £3... but I'm around and not occupied if you want a look round...
I've got plenty of Cherokee, Fi, but not in a planted form!
 :)
More plants like beans and corn will be available on the 6th of June...

[Deb P]

Bumping this up for tomorrow, I've been down today grouping stuff together and pricing, there are a lot of good bargains! Hope some of you can make it (bit far for Jeannine to pop over though!) :o ;D

[Jayb]

Again wish I were a bit closer, but Good luck for tomorrow, I hope it all goes well  :)

[Deb P]

Just been finishing off the signs for tomorrow, all set now we hope! ;D

[Deb P]

The sun shone and we had a really good turnout, saw the Manics ( ;D) and sold a lot of tomatoes, almost £200 worth! Overall takings were around the £500 mark so a good day! ;D ;D ;D

[manicscousers]

excellent result, glad the sun shone  ;D

[saddad]

Excellent Deb.... How many toms did you sell? Was I right to think they went better for being earlier in the season?  :)

[Deb P]

The amount of stuff we sold made it was a really worthwhile endeavor.......... bedding and perennial plants sold well, there are some of the heritage toms left; cherry, purple and striped varieties were the most popular this time, I shall have to remember that for the future......(what am I saying!) ::)

[cornykev]

I'm glad you all had a great day.   ;D ;D ;D

[Oldhippy]

Is the NGS Open Day going to happen, Deb?
If so I`ll be popping down the A52 again.
Hope it`s not as wet as last year though. :(

[Deb P]

Our first Open Day of the year under the NGS scheme is next Sunday, 6th June. I'll put a separate post to remind folks, and yes, the famous samosas will be on sale again! ;D

[manicscousers]

sorry, can't be there, hope you get lots of visitors...the toms are doing well, btw..thank you  :)
