    September Thread Here What's looking good in September 2017

    Although some of our very big Fuchsia plants have had to be removed due to Fuschia Gall Mite :wallbanging: :cry3: this hanging basket is still hanging on

    Rather sad:- Some of you may remember that in 2005 two 14 year old girls were killed by a train on a level crossing :sad:. One of the girls was a friend of ours (Mrs Shiney helped her through some of her childhood illnesses). Everyone at her funeral was given some Nerine bulbs to remember her by.
