Logs for sale.

As its quiet on the plant front through the winter, I've been busy chopping logs. Here's a photo of a metre cubed of ash. I sell this for £90 and I also have Sycamore for £ 70. I can also deliver locally (Letterston, Pembrokeshire) for a small charge.

Pembrokeshire Plant Sales.

This year I was thinking of trying some plant sales in Pembrokeshire. I know there's supposed to be good one at Narberth and there's one at Picton Castle and Templeton which I fancied. If you've been to any of these, leave a comment as to whether you thought they were any good (for buying or selling). If there's any other plant sales you knowof (or similar events I could sell plants at) in Pembrokeshire, let me know – it'll be handy for others looking for info too. I know there's the agricultural shows, but they seem expensive, and, with just a car, I can't take enough to put on a decent display.

About My Polytunnel.

I bought my polytunnel from First Tunnels in Lancashire, whom I found great to deal with – good quality product and service, and delivered promptly and on time. Its 20ft x 60ft and even though it was a lot of work digging the trenches and a little tricky putting the hoops up, I was able to build it all myself (with a little help from Dad to put the polythene on). Its great to have the straight sides as you can walk right to the edge – makes things a lot easier and the far plants don't get neglected. I liked it so much... I bought the company (not really ;) I have however bought another this year. Its a bit smaller, but only because of the space I had (but it does make it easier to construct).

My Little Nursery.

Here are some photos taken last summer (2011) of young shrubs and other plants in my lovely 20ft x 60ft polytunnel near Letterston in the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire. I grow shrubs (and climbers - Clematis and Honeysuckle) in 2 litre pots mostly and hope to sell them wholesale to local retailers (so if you're interested, give me a call).I also grow some bedding plants, such as Begonia, Geraniums, etc. and a few perennials like Lupins and Delphiniums.
Currently, I sell in car boot-sales at Haverfordwest on Saturdays, Carew on Sundays and New Hedges village hall on Wednesday in the summer. Until this builds up, I do some gardening, such as lawn mowing and hedge trimming for locals in the Letterston area but growing plants is my real love.
