    A couple of messages for those that are coming along.

    If you see what you think is a weed in any of our beds don't worry. It's there for a purpose. :heehee:

    If you have plants, or anything else, to unload you can drive into the driveway (Blue Badge holders only), unload and then go and park. :dbgrtmb:

    See you soon.

      can I also write a message to those coming along...if anybody is taking pictures can you please consider that some don't like to "go public" online and therefore the absolute minimum, I think, should be not to put any identification up if you load them somewhere. In my case I would gladly do without, but, I do get the drift that for the good cause to show participation, not to be a weirdo etc one should support some sort of evidence that one has been there.

        Simple solution :blue thumb:. No posting of member's photos on GC or any Social Media without permission.

        With regard to posting on GC. Myself and Mrs S don't mind. :) I keep off of Social Media but, very occasionally end up in the newspapers :doh:

                        @Beckie76

                        Most people seem to end up with bonuses from our plants :dbgrtmb: :snork:

                        It's Briza maxima (Greater Quaking Grass) but Mrs Shiney calls it Nodding Grass.

                        It's a hardy annual and seeds profusely. I'd be inclined to remove it from the pot and plant it where you can keep it under control - or wait until the seed has set and then collect the seeds and sow them in the right place. It's a nice grass. :blue thumb:

                            Keeping my fingers crossed for you to have a dry weekend at Shineyland. Bet all you GC members who are going will have a great time and go home with loads of plants. Would love to have been able to join you but afraid it's a bit far (400 odd miles from me) but will enjoy the photos of the Shiney spectacular!
