The gardeners and “allotmenteers” are all praying for a decent drop of rain, I am fed up of watering my seedlings already, the water butt is empty, and the ground is dry and dusty! However, in the rest of my garden, there are trees, roses, shrubs or perennials’; I don’t have to water them at all, and they all look great!
I gave prior warning about our trip to Lime Kiln Gardens in Drayton on June 1st, this garden has a wonderful Iris display, if you haven’t booked yet, ring Eileen on 510095, asap, as we have sorted the car rota, £5 each. (But we can organise another car I am sure!)
The new Show Schedule is now ready and in Blewbury Post Office , please come and collect your copy, or download from www.uptonvillagenews/vpa The organisation is well under way, The show is on August 6th, so plenty of time to plan your entries!
Do try to pop in to our Presidents garden on “yellow book gardens day”, Abners will be open, and we hope to have a marvellous plant stall, selling cuttings and plants from our own gardens, which are bound to be “good do’ers” in our soil! Remember to take your camera, as one of the photography classes in the annual show is “yellow book gardens”!
