Things are starting to 'warm up' as the build up for your garden approaches. We have selected our plants (tender ferns from New Zealand to Japan) and are trying to make sure they neither get too cold nor too hot in this unpredictable weather.
We have had a good response to a request for a potential hermit for our grotto, and I look forward to interviewing potential candidates.
We've finally managed to deliver a lot of rock and old wood to the show site and to fence it off so as not to have the site damaged by vehicles; this was after I was refused entry the first time for not wearing my safety boots!
Our neighbours were shocked when we told them we were constructing a garden with a wild theme - and that the heap of rock and wood we had just tipped was in fact our garden. That should give them something to talk and think about over weekend until we arrive on Monday morning to put it all together! (Our neighbour's some bloke called Beardshaw - he was next to us last year also, obviously a glutton for punishment)
Everywhere else on site everyone seems quite laid back and relaxed. I'm sure that will be about to change next week when the site starts to get snarled up with delivery vehicles - by which time we will be working away happily under our gazebo to shade us from the summer sun (we hope!?) Here are a few old pro's tips for surviving the build-up:
• Don't get dehydrated - like plants we need plenty of water!
• Hats are not necessarily the best protection - the sun bounces off the trackway, onto the brim of your hat and right into your face
• Keep plenty of sun cream to hand ...
• And keep a sense of humour.. It's supposed to be fun after all!
