An early start this morning (for a Saturday). I had to collect the plants from our allotment and take them to the Fairfields site other plotholders had left their donations in our greenhouse so I made two trips with our little Ka.
While I was doing that my allotment buddies were putting up banners, balloons and posters advertising HAHA and the charity which plotholders nominated Wiltshire Air Ambulance. We aren't in Wiltshire, but we pretty much touch the border.
We had a great morning! We had lots of visitors who appreciated our bargain prices and quality vegetable and flower plants. All the flowers including sunflowers, cosmos, sweetpeas and geranium were sold out before the vegetables. People happily went off with beans, brassica, tomatoes, cucurbits and more - I couldn't resist buying a globe artichoke plant myself.
Thanks to all the volunteers, visitors and plant donations. You helped raise £91.65! Well worth the effort and a musical flourish to sing-along to from Oliver! (There was no singing at the sale :-) )
The bees will enjoy that artichoke if you don't.
ReplyDeleteI do like artichoke, but I do need to work out where to put it as I know they can get huge!
DeleteI will! An interesting event!
