Britan's Biggest Wildflower Meadow

Britain's largest man made meadow, The Field of Dreams', with wildflowers from around the world is now in full bloom. It is free to go and see, but you can offer a donation to one of four charities. The meadow has been created by Brian and Denise Herrick on a two acre site in Somerset.

Drought Plants? You must be kidding!

Not so long ago the southern part of the country was in the grip of a drought, irrigation sales were booming, and I was writing an article about drought tolerant plants.

Well, the good old British weather has had a big change of mind and we've been soaked through ever since. Hosepipe ban cancelled, places flooded out and a great big storm on its way.

As it's 30 years today since the liberation of the Falkland Islands, perhaps the only name for this storm brewing has to be HURRICANE MAGGIE!!

Largest Wind Farm in UK

A new wind farm is now operating up on the Scottish hills near Glasgow. They might produce clean electricity from a renewable source which is great but they really do have a terrible effect on tranquility and the landscape.

You can see the wind turbines here;

Diamond Jubilee Gladioli

It's certainly a summer of red, white and blue with the Diamond Jubilee and British Olympics, so if you want your garden to match your Union flag bunting then how about these Jubilee Gladioli that will flower this year in August if you order them now. As they are bulbs they will then flower year after year during the summer. Height: 45cm (18”). Spread: 10cm (4”).

For just £10.99 you can get a mixed total of 18 Corms so this isn't jsut a feeble little attempt. This will transform your garden into the most patriotic in the street! ;0)
