It's a long journey from here but at least we can enjoy seeing views of it from other blog posts! I would get very tempted, happily Pennard Plants and Sea Spring seeds are on my door step and we always but seeds from both of them! We have also had fun doing tomato and lettuce tasting with Sea Spring seeds in the past.

I don't remember seeing Chelsea plans in previous years (is this a new innovation or just me not noticing before?) but am thrilled to have had a preview - there are some very exciting gardens this year!

I particularly enjoyed the display of plans for Chelsea gardens. Unfortunately I missed this last show, so like you, I look forward to reading up on it.Sarah Shoesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410745860215082568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-56239078895431738082016-04-03T08:35:59.443+01:002016-04-03T08:35:59.443+01:00I first saw (and was fascinated by) automata in Co...I first saw (and was fascinated by) automata in Covent Garden many years ago - there was a permanent exhibition there but they were unable to compete with fashion brands when the rents went up (as is happening in so many areas in London). I'm always happy to recommend Sea Spring as I've found their seeds and plug plants are of excellent quality. I grew Fairy Lights a few years ago from a plug - it became the most beautiful chilli bush ever with yellow, red and purple chilli growing upright like candle flames! I've just checked and they send out large plugs at the end of April so plenty of time yet!

I've n not made it to a show for years now, but they are wonderful, for inspiration and new plants. I need some chilli plug plants, may have to take a look at the Sea Springs website, though I know I am late this year.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-5795582565338230942016-04-02T10:13:09.598+01:002016-04-02T10:13:09.598+01:00Hurrah!

The automata did make me chuckle - I love the idea of drinking tea while cycling so that the garden is trimmed and pruned without too much effort! :o) Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-39534114420597910492016-04-02T10:10:23.324+01:002016-04-02T10:10:23.324+01:00Thank you, Flighty - you too.
