First seeds of The Potting Shed begin to grow

Cross the Under Gardener here, reporting back!

So that’s the first row planted. The Potting Shed, capital of Horticulture is on its way. That chilly February air didn’t keep away did it? A cosy greenhouse of eager and may I say lovely seedlings sat and sweetened the sir with their applause, laughs and support.

Pete Moser and The Long Walk gave us a taste of what is to come with their half-hour extract. Beautiful tunes, thoughtful lyrics and an East/West hybrid of cultures to give the Potting Shed some true cultural resonance. As a kick off, that weren’t ‘aint half bad!

And then, those crazy Future Queens! Les Reines Prochaines, barnstorming, beautiful, bonkers, barmy and boundless! If we could all have a little dance like they can dance than the world would be a better place I reckon!

Did you plant a seed that night? I know I rummaged around with quite a few of you and got grubby, wrist deep in the compost! Don’t forget. It is a simple combination of sunshine, water and a dash of love that will grow those seeds into something lovely. Keep us posted here with your progress. Take a picture and add it to Flickr, or join us in Facebook and add your progress reports!

I think I need a month off now. Turning my compost and chopping my log behind the back shed. See you next time!
