Two tips from Terry

Terry Tippett at Parisot gave a second Gardening  Masterclass to the Ladies of the Fifi group yesterday. Terry was showing us how to make up our hanging baskets and the first revelation was to go out and gather moss from walls to line your basket. Make sure the baskets when made up are fed twice a week and watered twice a day, even when it has rained. Another idea  we discussed was how we did not like the plastic hanging baskets and prefer wire ones.  These are hard to find in France  but haunt the brocantes and you can often find interesting substitutes.  I have a collection of wire baskets and  also some I think that  are snail collectors bought for one euro
Second tip , because of all the rain it is not too late to continue mulching, so that old pile of donkey manure is going on the rhubarb today.

If you have not discovered Terry and her lovely healthy plants  which she sells and you are a gardener, find her.
