I’ve noticed a change in temperature over the last week. If you haven’t done so already now is the time to move plants under cover and give them some comfort over the cooler months. We need to keep our plants in top condition for the expo.
Newsletters
A friendly reminder; if you change your email address and still wish to receive newsletters please remember to give me your new details. I recently had a couple of addresses bounce back at me but through some detective work got hold of the new addresses, however, this does waste time so if you could let me know when you change your address that would be much appreciated.
We don’t wish to annoy; if you no longer want to receive this newsletter please let me know and I will remove you from the email group.
