……..visited Springbridge Supplies in Denham to buy the soil – who kindly gave us a very generous discount.
The soil arrives on an even colder March morning.
It has to be on the beds that morning before the children arrived – it is very cold!

That’s an improvement!
Smiths Nurseries in Denham supplied all the plants, again at a very generous discount.
