Ancient and Hairy

Good morning all
Sorry, no time this morning other than to update the availability list. Having a couple of days entertaining friends here and my presence is demanded elsewhere. Actually the entertaining is coming from the visitors really as we are being taken on an updated, expert led landscape walk of the Stonehenge area to see all the stuff we missed last time we went. I have had a glimpse of the folder of info which is part of the ‘presentation’ so should be lots of food for thought. A few others are joining us too so should be fun. Today we are hill fort walking and going to Amesbury to try and see some of the Mesolithic stuff they have dug up at Blick Mead Springs which we hope is on show. The finds there make Amesbury the longest settled place in the country with butchered cattle bone dating to 8820 BC, nearly 11,000 years. I think this counts as the summer holiday so must make the most of it!

Availability
We have a slight lull in flowering stock at the moment after strong summer sales. Fresh stock is growing well and the range should pick up again very soon for an autumn surge!
Asters just beginning to show bud and the first occasional flower, summer is going by so quickly.
Ajuga Black Scallop with really very dark tight foliage, a stunner.
We have a great range of good looking chunky Agapanthus we are producing for the first time this summer.

Have a good one, from all at Kirton Farm Nurseries
