Pottertons Nursery sales area will be open at 7.30am; discount offered to anyone who helps us unload at 7. Please be aware that ELLIE and JACKIE Potterton will be doing the selling, Ellie's adding up is still not the best so further discounts may be available from her.

Is there an extra special discount if I promise not to show this post to Ellie?

Sounds as if you will all have fun meeting up on Saturday. Wish I was going. I noticed that Laneside Orchids will be there. I could have treated myself to a few Cypripediums  :'(  Looking forward to seeing some nice pictures. Can someone take a picture of Laneside Orchids stand and post it here that I can see what I missed.

The weekend is to be warm and in the teens.

For me look for 'yellow', dirty, timberland boots, jeans, green jumper, pink polo shirt and spiked very dark going grey hair. Cant be many like that around  ;D

At this time of the year, the Laneside stall is often an expanse of pots of......compost. I'll see what I can do though.

Peter there will be pictures to show what you are buying. If I was going I would be coming home with something nice.

Enjoy yourselves as Mark said the weather is meant to be nice.

I will be cutting my grass  :(

Is anyone going to be at Loughborough, Blackpool and Hexham? I'll be at the first and last, but not at Blackpool, and I was thinking of putting one of my narcissus in for the Joint Rock. If anyone is willing to babysit my pot for a couple of weeks please let me know. Thanks.
