Heard an interesting story on the local news over in here in East Anglia recently, concerning the National Trust-owned Oxburgh Hall near Swaffham in Norfolk.

Here's a copy of an article I've produced for my Master Composter post-course work...

Remember back in February when I told you I was going to be a Master Composter? Well, I successfully completed the course, held in Swaffham, last week and now I'm well on the way to becoming a compost ambassador for Norfolk!

If you enjoy growing vegetables, then make a bee-line for the forthcoming RHS Hampton Court Flower Show - for the theme this year is definitely edible plants.

You do not need an excuse to treat the person you call mum, but Mothering Sunday (March 18th) is the perfect opportunity to show just how much you appreciate her - with a special Mother's Day gardening gift.

Seems I'm in good composting company, judging by this article I came across in the Daily Telegraph...

It's a quintessential English summer scene; the local gardening club take over the village green for the day to present their annual show, with a wonderful - and traditional - selection of oversized fruit and vegetables, carefully arranged flowers and delicious home baked cakes. Martin Fiddes takes us on a trip round a local garden show!

On the subject of wet weather and flooding (see July 6th's entry), it's worth considering a rather topical Royal Horticultural Society report says horticulturist Martin Fiddes.
