Everything On A Grand Scale

Well, OK, so far the flowers aren’t on a grand scale, but let’s not dwell on that. Everything else, though, is certainly bigger than I’m used to and so poxy little plastic labels are out and bloody great wooden stakes for labelling are in!

I’ve painted the names of the flowers on these 4ft stakes and am gonna bang them in at the end of each row. And here’s the clever bit – I will need a stake to tie up the Onopordium plant I am going to put at the end of each row as a windbreak, so they will be dual purpose! Which means any accusations of wasting time painting wood in nice girly colours to make it look pretty will be TOTALLY UNJUSTIFIED! Right?
