Re: Well, That Is Annoying.

Thought now that time has gone by, I'd add these.

A nice Sunny Day, so walking home I took some piccies of the efforts people have put in since our street was done up, They can be viewed @ Message - Accrington Gallery

So much better than before with the sad old walls and weeds for gardens, and everyone O was able to speak to so proud of their little contribution, except, me, I put my plants out, treated them with care, and after all this time, I have, a couple of weeds and I'm to proud of them to pull them up!

My one remaining basket is doing nothing. My replacement for the stolen one is out the back and miles ahead.

But, this is our street's first real attempt, I've also noticed other streets in the area that are producing their floral displays, well done to them.

Should we, could we, perhaps all get together and have a floral display/competition?

Each area combining and showing how we can put on a show?

It doesn't have to be just the refurbed stuff, all of Hyndburn, perhaps, or am I googling wrong and there is already such a thing?

Re: Well, That Is Annoying.

Just a quick update, I bought another basket and have had a reasonable display, I've just come home tonight and stuffed at the side of the basket, is an empty packet of flower seeds.
Has someone sowed some extras for me? This late in the season? I would think we'll have to wait until next year to find out, but thank you goes out to Accrington's version of, Johnny Appleseed

You can wash your Keyboard John....that will stop the keys from sticking.
You just have to leave it to drain or dry it thoroughly with a hairdryer set on a cool setting.
