Had a super event in O’Donnells Hardware & GC in Dungloe the last day, this mini ‘Ask the Expert’ day was a great way for me to sharpen up for the Gardeners Question Time panel at the North West Garden Show this weekend in Castlefin.
Although Saturday was a complete wash out I was delighted to be puzzled and questioned non stop for the 3 hours I was there, person after person was in, and I was delighted to meet as many people on the day, considering the weather was as bad….and I think the folks visiting me were pleasantly surprised that turf ash was of use in their gardens 🙂
and the edible hanging baskets went down a treat…
