TIME TO TALK

I enjoyed your chatty blog... no limit on length of blog permitted and no limit on including photos if you so wish...
Good luck in reaching the top of the allotment waiting list :o)

nice blog AA, looking forwards to some photo's

i think we must be cloned,haha.i am into roses in a big way .for the first time i have done lots of dahlias too.got about twenty or so pots all over the garden.also garden is crammed full of other plants .but as you say its adictive.well no watering the garden today as its rained most of the day here in barnsley which suits me fine as its a couple of hours job and i have come home from work shattered.

Lucky you working at Alnwick. That, and your own garden, must keep you busy.

AA that's a lovely blog.
Your garden sounds like an Aladins Cave at the moment :))

I enjoyed the chat. Hope you chat again soon.

Thanks for the comments folks....Aladin's cave....hmn...sounds about right Louise

Enjoyed your chat. You must have longer days than us other GoYers, in order to look after all those plants. LoL.
Looking forward to seeing some photos. And, a belated welcome to GoY. It takes me a bit to catch up sometimes. It's me age y'know! :-o))

You do sound a busy bee and I also enjoyed reading your blog,hope you do get an allotment soon and looking forward to seeing some photo,s,no rush tho......

Oh, what a great read! Am captivated by the mention of your "dark" plants. I've also grown to love dahlias. You also live in my fave county to date - Northumberland. And, you actually work at Alnwick! (am a shade of green now, lol!). T&M trials and freebies, an allotment-in-waiting......an even "greener" now, lol!

Welcome to GOY! No limit to length of blogs, so far as I know. :-)

Hi AA Sorry I have just caught up with your blog lovely read! I’m a bit behind at the moment. You have been busy sounds like heaven.
I work for Gilberts Dahlias in Hampshire we have the largest collection in the south of England we have a large field with 300+ show Dahlias open to the public in August some of our dahlias will be in the August Gardeners World magazine. We have grown over 14000 from seed and cuttings this year. I’m almost dahlia-ed out!! But they are gorgeous.

Hi Sueb.....ah.,someone told me about you....how lucky you are to work with Dahlias.....I'm lucky here in the North East to be within "buying distance" of Halls of Heddon...I visited their dahlia fields last ~Aug/Sept.....breathtaking!!! I will make sure I get the August edition of GW mag....I normally subscribe to another good "glossy"...Garden Answers and write for their sister paper "Garden News".....sorry..,couldn't resist a plug....lol.....My dahlias are getting bigger by the minute......trying to find spare spots in the borders for the pots....its getting more difficult by the day...phew....but its good clean fun!!!!!!!...lol
I'm lucky enough to have a friend who shows at Harrogate and had a lot of cuttings from him this year (sorry if I'm repeating myself....can't remember exactly wot I rote in my original blog........am off now to water those d*** dahlias...speak again...
