Yesterday (Sunday) at 10.30am. I gave my 2nd talk on Small Garden Growing, and this followed the Beginner one a couple of months ago. Thirty people turned up, which was a great compliment. I found it exhausting though as only 5 days out of hospital, not quite up to speed.
It is a hard thing to teach really, not knowing what sort of small gardens I was referring to. Still quite a few thanked me and remarked they enjoyed it.
As a door prize I made up a hanging basket full of succulents, and Eco products sent me some pots of seaweed powder, so used one, a seedling starter kit I had and Jan made a bag, which was joined by several hessian bags handed in that day. 7 lucky prizes in all, which is not bad.
I thought it would take a bit longer as it is advertised through the council as 2hrs. but I had finished after 1hr. The ladies bought out all the food and everyone enjoyed a lovely lunch, and by the time that was over 2 hrs had gone. I remarked on this to my sister as we left pretty early as I needed to lie down, and it was 12.30pm by the clock. So I suppose in actual fact the whole session was 2 hrs.
The next one is in September, and is already booked out. Plot to Pantry, so I had better start doing a few sample bottling, and dehydrating, in the next 3 weeks, and gathering all my equipment together. I wrote to Fowlers, and got a lovely book for a door prize and lots of pamphlets.
Just a quick one today, feeling exhausted.
Till next time.
