Today nine of us met up with Holly for our annual task of staking out the dahlia walk at Biddulph. It was a beautiful day for the task ahead. We had been led to believe we would be taking out the tulips prior to staking out the beds, but this had been done earlier in the week.
As all but Gaynor had done this job [staking] before we had it finished by lunchtime so in the afternoon we pre dug holes in front of each stake ready for the dahlia tubers to be planted, which will be in the next week or so.
We had lots of visitors asking what we were doing and thanking us for our hard work. We also had questions for directions, not quite so good on that one though.
Thanks to my colleagues for their hard work and good company. Also thanks to Holly who took over admirably from Leslie, who has left to become a postie!
