A wonderful selection of vegetables I would like to have soil capable of growing carrots like that, my purple hellebores are in flower but they are quite short and soon droop if you cut them

I thought the name of this shop seemed familiar.........you posted a couple of images from there last February............and it's still a lovely place to visit.

There's a nice selection of fresh vegetables and nice flowers in the main image and I really like the look of those beautiful baskets.

The two close up shots in the PiP are beautiful............we have some cyclamen in hour garden, which are flowering, but they've thinned themselves out a bit this year. The Hellebore are gorgeous, but they refuse to grow when I plant some!

A delightful little series Rosa..........I hope you have an enjoyable weekend. You don't want a cold do you? I have one going free to anyone that wants it :-(

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
I can't help but take a picture or two of this lovely shop every time I'm in Mere Keith ;-)

Thank you for your kind comments on all three pictures. cyclamen must be much tougher than they look to withstand the winter weather, and they come in such lovely colours nowadays. I have hellibores in my garden and they are doing well. Interesting that they refuse to grow for you. I have the same problem with clematis. I give up on them now!

Oh no....you can keep your cold Keith! I hope you soon feel better. Take care!!

Todas las fotos son muy buenas. La principal me recuerda a la reciente mía de Café Rock. Me gustan esas cestas y sus productos por sus colores y por su nitidez. En algunos pueblos hay la costumbre antigua de ponerse los “baserritarras” (aldeanos) con sus productos hortícolas un día a la semana en el mismo sitio, alimentos km 0. Buen viernes, Rosa

Thank you for your kind comment Jose Manuel. This shop always gives a nice display outside the shop. I don't know how far the produce has come, but it looked very fresh. A coffee bar inside was a good idea to get people in as well :-))
Have a good weekend.
