I had a lovely day out, Wisley is a lovely place even this early in the year! Given another few months when all the gardens are in full swing I bet it will be a glorious sight to behold! All I can say is, that if Wisley in in easy enough for you to get to, then it is well worth the visit!

Glad you all had a lovely time. So, what I want to know, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, was did you take any piccies??? We'd like to see you Grapes At Wisley!

[HayleyB]

Even more green - with envy........

Wish I coulda gone Soooooo I will only be placated when someone posts some piccys

[Irie Jan]

I did not take any pickies but someone did! To be honest, I think we all had a good time judging by the feed back on Barley Suggars thread! We all split up and went our own ways after the first meet up but then we bumped into people on our travels around the gardens. Quite a few of us got together for lunch and did a seed swap which was lovely!

Thanks to those of you who gave me some lovely seeds I feel bad that I was not able to swap any back! This will be my frst year at growing for a very long long time so I do not have many seeds to swap as not sure what I will be using at the moment. Also I am still trying to build up stocks! I have passed some seeds on to some people on here I hppe they are good ones for you!


Just to side track a little please!

Just to let the pass the parcel peeps know I have been told the parcle is winging its way to me sohortly! I'm looking forward to having a rummage through them to see what peeps have been adding! Thanks to all for keeping it going! I have been hanging on to some seeds to add to the parcle so as soon as I can it wil be on its way to whoever is next person! Tammy will let me know as soon as I let her know I have the seeds!

Aww thanks Hayley! I will have to go get it from the sorting office in town but that is not too far for me! Will be a good excuse to leave work early o Tuesday evening to go and get it! I wont tell my boss what Im going to get though! lol

[Hilary B]

I took a few pics of the grapes present, mostly you won't be able to see who is who, even if I manage to get them loaded!

[allotmentlady]

please post them if u cannot email them to me and I will do it for you xx

[selfraising]

Sounds like you all had a great time, wish I could have been there!

[RedThorn]

Was a brilliant day, Wisley must be a sight to behold when all the gardens come into their own later in the year! Oh and the temptation of all those fantastic plants in the shop.........

[kernowyon]

dissapointed I couldn't make it, but had such a crappy night on friday at work that I was shattered when i got home and wouldn't have been much fun (think - bear with sore head)

will try to make the next meet in my area.

wheres the piccies?

[RedThorn]

Unfortunately I forgot my camera Sorry...... There were a few grapes with cameras, hopefully they will post the pics....

Coming off a bad night shift and then being up all day is a killer!

[HayleyB]

(think - bear with sore head)

Just a thought.......

Has ANYONE ever seen a bear with a sore head and if so how did the bear get the sore head

[BarleySugar]

I forgot to take many pictures, too busy talking, but I'll check out the two I took after lunch when we were seed swapping, and try to get them up later. Just cooking dinner now

[Hashette]

That was a lovely day, can we do it again in summer and see the gardens in their full glory and so the people who couldn't make it can come along next time? Even in early March I was put to shame by how neat everything was, especially the veg garden. But then they don't have four ex-bat hens free ranging over the place with JCBs instead of feet..... and 25 professional gardeners.... and loads of volunteers helping out as well.....

Just messing about with photobucket, the one and only decent photo I took to follow
