Our Feedback
Ordered 60 Pearlwort plugs in mid-July as a low maintenance alternative to grass. Packaging and protection was excellent and plugs were in superb condition. I split each plug into 4 and planted directly into the soil which had been well prepared beforehand. The somewhat warmer summer meant more frequent watering to ensure the plugs settled into place. By next summer I anticipate the soil between the stepping stones in the garden to be completely filled with pearlwort. It is planted in direct sun and deeply shaded areas but all are growing and spreading well. Most of the plugs flowered and the spread has been quite amazing. Because of the layout, a lawnmower or strimmer would not fit so an alternative had to be found. Victoriana Nursery provided the perfect solution - a low maintenance grass alternative which also produces small white flowers. Everyone who sees it loves the look and the idea of no real maintenance. Victoriana Nursery has a range of unusual plants so I will definitely be after future purchases and spreading the word to those who are curious or are 'green fingered'. Great value for money. Keep the area weed free as the plants spread and weeds will be a thing of the past.

Chasing Our Tails
It has been an incredibly busy year for us - we haven't seemed to stop since coming back after the Christmas break...
But now, as the planting and sowing season takes its natural early Summer break, we get a chance for a break too! Not a break in the true sense of the word - more a chance to draw breath, take stock of where we are and plan for the weeks and months ahead.
The warm weather has meant that everything in our veg tunnel is growing at an incredible rate - it looks like we're on target for our Tomato Tasting Day on the 15 August and should have just under 80 varieties on taste. Similarly the Chillies and Peppers are starting to get into their stride now, ensuring our September Chilli Fest will be a more than hot event! Full details of both of these can be found on our Forthcoming Events page - do please come along if you can!
Outside the veg garden has also caught up from our late start and now, like everyone else, we can start to reap the rewards - the 'hungry gap' has most certainly passed!
Be sure to follow all our antics at the nursery on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ for daily updates and general banter posted with a grin.
