Hi Lizzie,

We are coming to the Dordogne in May and was hoping to visit some French gardens when we are there, any suggestions. We will be quite near Sarlat. The gardens we have visited were mainly in the Loire Valley, around the chateaus. I like flowers as well and am very interested in vegetable growing, The French seem to be particularly good at it.

Bunny! I hope there's not too much damage. Gardening is supposed to be good for your health
What colour hellebore?

Have been informed that today is St Brigid's day - start of Celtic Spring. That'll do me, I can't wait until 21st March!

Lovely photos of Olive , Bunny . What a nice name Hope you are ok after your slip. The French gardens look great - They have the right idea, No solar lights on sticks !

Becks , no, they're not expensive but we only got them last year so a bit miffed but hey-ho - could have been worse. Some people have lost fence panels and allsorts. Seems Jess is back to her normal self May have been a 24 hr thing.

My Van Meuwen Spring catalogue has just been delivered.

I am thinking of applying for a bank loan. Some great plants in it. I want a snail tree but got nowhere to put it.

I would love to get some outside light for the back garden, but they come under the 'luxury' bracket here! And the 'luxury' account is currently on hold!
