Just a few plants

The trouble with doing garden shows is that all your plants must look good and be in flower on the day. This means moving them into the poly, or greenhouse when cold. getting them all out again if it is sunny or we are likely to have a nice shower. Then there is the temperature to watch, so they get moved in and out of the hot courtyard. Plus sometimes you have to hold them back if they get too far ahead.
This might seem easy to some until you see the amount of plants I have to shuffle about each day.
The stuff in the blue trays is an experiment in growing a transportable camomile lawn.
Here's a few more plants from around the back
The little roundhouse is full of lemon and orange plants, this is about half the total plants we will use. Also there is a lorryload of shrubs, trees and roses over on the mainland I have to look after, so I have to whip over on the ferry once a week to make sure they are all right.
Nice being busy ain't it?
