Rachel's Journal

Ha ha Rachel, that pumpkin is bursting to get out. Loved the picture in your album of 'dinner' Thats brilliant.

That's very impressive! I was looking at your July photos, and love the heleniums!

just seen your chrysanthemums . they were spider chrys not really what you were looking for was it!. We could send you down some plants next year. .

You're so right Ann & John. I was bitterly disappointed when they flowered. After all that effort I said to myself and I planted them in the garden in disgust. Ah well. I guess it comes from being an amateur - not knowing what to look out for when buying! I would love if you sent me some plants this year. Thank you.

Watch out Rachel, it'll be marching out the door of your greenhouse yet!!! Such growth!!

We have to watch out all the time, Joy. It's very easy to break.

Glad the bean seeds worked out well! They certainly looked like they had a great start when I saw them in June! Thanks very much for the purple sedum. I love it and am saving it for my new garden, wherever that may be!

The beans and peas have been great this year. Would purple be your colour, Alison? Purple beans, sedum and Nora Barlow?
