Weather on Sunday was awful. My thanks to the hardy souls who braved it. I'll do it again this weekend, Sat 27th & Sun 28th. Come any time. Pm me to arrange a different time, or to get directions if you haven't been before. Escallonia sold out, otherwise still a good selection. Also have Blackthorn in root-trainers, and a few native Juniper in pots.

Still have most species available. Come this Sunday 6th, or any other time by arrangement. Directions - from Castletown, take the Groats road. Just outside the village, take the first and only public road right (unsigned, goes to Greenland/Lyth). I'm the first house on the right up that road, white cottage on the roadside.

Thanks to those who braved the weather. Still have most species available, including over 100 bare root Fuchsia riccartonia - the hardiest of fuchsias and excellent for hedging. Both bare root and in root trainers, only £1.00 each. A few young rosemary plants looking good, and only 3 native juniper left. Much more though. Come any Sunday until further notice, or any other time - arrange by pm.

Just an update. Many species still available, but have over 100 bare-root hardy Fuchsia (riccartonia) still available, and taking up space which I need to clear. Come tomorrow (Tuesday) any time, and get 7 for £5.00. That's a one-day-only offer. But anyone who wants a Fuchsia hedge is welcome to make me an offer. Also have new season pot grown herbaceous perennials and shrubs looking good. As always, come any Sunday, or pm me to arrange a convenient time.

Now we have longer daylight, always home by 5.30pm weekdays. No need to pre-arrange, just turn up! Of course, every Sunday 10am until dusk as usual.

Plants are leafing out now, so the bare root season is nearly over. I reckon we're okay for this Sunday and next (or any time in between by arrangement). But that'll be it for bare root plants this season. Always have pot grown available though. You know where I am, directions posted several times above.

Just a few Ribes left now - 1 bare root, 3 in root trainers and 5 pot grown.

Last chance for bare root plants. Loads of hardy Fuchsias, and lots more. Open for sales this Sat and Sun, 10am until dusk. New seasons pot grown herbaceous perennials, cheaper then any garden centre, because my customers bring their used pots back. That's how we keep the prices down. What's not to like?

What's the point of this? I am trying to build a small cottage industry, a wee part-time business. I offer hardy plants grown by my own hand. But nobody turns up. I have wasted a weekend. Plants are going in the compost heap. I have tried and failed. Nobody wants locally grown plants.

Hi there,
Your PM inbox is full.

Do you have any rhododendrons or escallonia?

Thx

No point in buying shrubs etc if you don't need them or have room in the garden for them. Surely the cost would not be very high for you, if it was cuttings taken from your own mature plants

I just had a rant, after a bad day. We all have bad days. You are a respected orger, and I value your comments. But plants don't grow on trees. It takes work, knowledge, and time to propagate plants. Tell me what you have propagated recently, with photos. Do that, and I will take your criticism seriously.
