XXXX Easter Bunny, I've just answered!!

Jane, I was about to close it... but have had some more seedlings which need to go into the greenhouse tomorrow, so they have to have a day or so to stretch out their roots, and I know that a couple of folk have some in the post... and as I am feeling better by the day, not worse, then I am not expecting to have to go and lounge around doing nothing for a while, lol... I'll find out for sure tomorrow, but am quite confident. so I have a bit more time than I expected.

Right, this is a public announcement... will the very very kind person who has put their plant straight into the greenhouse please let me know who they are so I can make out the label... if you wish to remain anonymous, I will respect that, but I would still like to be able to add your name to the master label... thank you, so much, as well ;¬))

Loads of love and (((((hugs))))) to everyone

Love

Cat, I have just had your seedlings in the post.... Hypericum, used to heal wounds and ward off evil. They are perfect, and will be in the greenhouse later today, thank you so very very much.

As you can see, lol I am still around, I wasn't dragged away... but I will be from next week, so really do need to close the greenhouse and get the hanging basket up fairly soon.

Thank you, so very very much, to everyone who has contributed.

Love

Just to let you all know that the greenouse is about to be emptied, and the hanging baskets will be up in the next hour or so.

Thank you so much for all your plants and seedlings... they have all taken beautifully, and are flourishing. They look stunning.

Pauline, I have added your plant as well, it looks stunning, English Lavender, calming, restorative, healing. Perfect. Thank you so much.

Right... fingers crossed everyone, that I don't have a mishap while hanging it... it is very very heavy.

Love and (((((hugs)))))

Thanks for all the work gone into the baskets Daff. Gardening isn't the easiest job in the world. Don't go overstretching yourself.

It must be a pretty site - all those flowers!!

Well done Daff. I am sure the seeds from this years blooms will carry in the breeze to stony ground in far flung corners and start litle gardens of their own :))

Now look after you ! :))

Congratulations Daff, on gathering all those seedlings and planting them so well. I'm sure they will bring lots of happiness to those receiving the blossoms.

Now put your feet up and rest!!

You must be very pleased with the baskets, you're very thoughtful and selfless to do all the hard work which went into making them.

Pleased you had such a good response to make it look so stunning for those receiving it:)
I bet you would rival Newport in Bloom .☺☺☺

Take care and make sure you are back blooming soon.

Luv and (((hugs)))

Aw, thank you everyone. They are now on their way. I had the easy bit, lolol... well, once I had the labels all sorted and the sprinkler system on automatic, lolol.... There were one or two dodgy moments when I wasn't sure which label belonged to which plant... well, it is all these Latin names, isn't it? I mean, some plants have lovely *pet names* and then you have to match up the pet name with the Sunday best name, lolol.... I do still have one donation outstanding, and I haven't a clue what it is... I have called it Abby cos it was postmarked Abergavenny..... anyone any ideas???

Please pm if if you want a full list of all the plants in the basket....

Take care

Love
