The plot is complete ready for Chelsea Flower Show Press day on Monday.
Yesterday was supposed to be a relaxing day of finishing touches, but I felt the most tired last night of all the nights put together. The last of the plants went in yesterday, everything was given a thorough watering to try and prevent wilting as the temperature here in the show ground over the last few days has been scorching.
I think I have been very lucky with my plot in Ranlelagh Gardens, there are many mature tress that keep the worst of the heat away from my plants and from my head. I have seen so many people that have turned a deep red/brown colour over the week from working in the sun.
Today I am blogging in my shed, it is Sunday and the last chance to finish things and it is still a very busy place, with diggers and forklifts going past, all around you can hear the clang of spades and tools all bus trying to complete. I feel so relieved that I am finished and happy with my space. Later I am going to have a little walk around to check out some of the other exhibits.
Whilst I had lunch I spotted Joe Swift having his photo taken, it is my first celebrate sighting, I can’t wait to see Alan Titchmarsh or Diarmuid Gavin, if I can chance to meet them I will be doing a “I’m not worthy” in the style of Waynes World!
Watch this space and I will be blogging every day from my little shed.
