Another ‘VisionOn’ gallery tonight – just to show how fabulous some people can be!
Having ‘met’ Shelley & Paul (Wellie & Trousers) through the GYO grapevine, they have been an absolute source of aspiration & inspiration with their beautiful potager garden at Bream in the Forest of Dean.
More than that, Shelley has provided hints, tips, advice, support & is clearly daft as a brush to boot! Knowing that we were having trouble with our tomatoes, she sent through a parcel yesterday, which covered absolutely all eventualities…
So we had individually wrapped parcels of 5 types of tomatoes – all perfect – a ripe peach (ditto), a couple of daft puzzles for me & my mother, a fantastic remote control mouse – sent in order to drive my cats potty, I’m sure – & some carrot seed. As, I was only expecting the carrot seed, so a shoe box size parcel was a bit beyond expectations!
And on a day that blight seems to have spread to our tomatoes, they were all the more appreciated and really showed me how things CAN be – so thank you, Wellie, you are a complete angel!
And guess what – next year I will mostly be growing tomatoes, with my fingers well and truly crossed!
