Laura and Sheila got all creative today at Braywick Plant Nurseries, planting up hanging baskets with hardy plants which will provide a nice display all winter. By the end of the session we had had a good catch-up and produced 21 lovely baskets ready for sale

As Sheila was on her Hols in Yorkshire I met our lovely new lady Kay! We started off putting the plugs into 6 packs in the greenhouse but it soon got too hot so we decamped outside where it was cooler. There we met Oscar a Furze Platt pupil who was volunteering as part of his Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award. He filled the six packs while we put in the plugs. We didnt stop for tea and everyone was very pleased how much we got done. I look forward to meeting Kay again in the near future. Sorry there is no picture I completely forgot!!!!

Laura, Rosie and Sheila helped out at Braywick Plant Nurseries, getting ready for autumn. We were potting up ivy, thyme, heuchera and pansy plug plants into 10cm pots. We love a bit of potting up!

Anna, Laura and Sheila helped out at Braywick Heath Nursery. Our first was a logistical one, transferring the plants on display in spacer trays, freeing up the black trays which can be given to customers to take their plants home in. In the course of doing this, Anna found some argyranthemum which were getting quite straggly do she tepotted them and gave them some pea stick supports. We then moved onto some outside work, digging up shrubs which were invading the flower beds from the hedge. This definitely put the 'gym' into Goodgym, and proved to be very hard work, trying to get the mass of roots out of the ground. Laura managed to disturb an ants' nest, and a couple managed to make their way up her leg and give her a nip. Ouch!

Rachel, Laura and Sheila met at Braywick Heath Nurseries, and all wished we had our shorts on, as the temperature is definitely on the up! First task, before it got too hot, was to go through the glasshouses and deadhead the plants and remove any that were struggling. Sheila and Rachel also moved some pots of Alstromeria from the polytunnel to the sales area at the entrance. When that had all been completed we did some hoeing to remove weeds in the gravel in the outside sales area. Another good morning's work!

Fantastic work! I've got Alstromeria on my shopping list. I better get in there quick!
