Garden open (maybe)
It has been raining steadily (like 3" water in wheelbarrow) all day, and
nearby villages are flooded. Four days to go until "Gardens Open" day and mine looks like Glastonbury field. Good thing I don't have flowers, only plants, har-har. OTOH I'm not sure even they'll survive with all this rain. Still, mustn't grumble, I have a Colocasia esculenta and they live in water in ditches, so maybe it will be happy! someone |

Any clues as to the *precise* location? -- Paul C |

Last summer we had more than enough rain but the plants stayed small; two years ago in baking sunshine they put on some decent growth. |

It's very kind of you to provide the above advice but I'd simply like to know what village is opening its gardens. I've tried to google for North Wiltshire open gardens but got nowhere a few weeks back as I'm effectively googling "blind". It's the second thread on this subject where the location hasn't been mentioned - well at least as far as the posts I can see indicate. -- Paul C |

Having now done so there's only one entry that looks plausible but it's not suggesting a whole village open day. I'll shut up as there's been no response and it's probably too late to make sensible arrangements to travel. I shall do my regular Sunday mad dash round London's NGS gardens instead - seen some fantastic gardens (and had some great tea and cake) so far this year. -- Paul C |
