The garden is a draw for me, the village too so even on a weekend I can't help myself; but this weekend has not involved Barnsley. Yesterday I spent most of my time on a rain and windswept hillside a few miles north west of Wiveliscombe in Somerset pursuing my other passion. After a full English in the farm house kitchen it was off up the hill with like minded souls....my job was to man the lure machine that dragged various items including high vis' jackets for crazed whippets to chase. The weather, tangles and damp electrical contacts very nearly beat us; but all the competitions were ran out and winners got their rosettes.

| 'Bernie' in the Veg' Garden, he was in action in Somerset yesterday. |
Dealing with the conditions and machinery was a distraction; but I couldn't help thinking 'what haven't I staked/caned/supported' at Barnsley? Ben and I have done most of the Geraneum phaeum and psilostemon, some of the Honesty too; but if I was a betting man then I would put my money on some of the Honesty being hit. A report will follow tomorrow.
