Hairy celebrations

Morning all,

Apologies for the late list this week, time has got the better of me again this week. I usually manage to get this done on Friday afternoon after everyone has left the scene, but it was a big birthday for Caroline and we were having a few friends over for a takeaway and a beer in the garden and it all got a bit out of hand. Several unexpected callers popped in to pay their respects which disrupted things a bit and then I had to prepare the dining area while Caroline had a zoom get together and a glass or two, with some old school friends who have all reached this significant age together. I ended up completely running out of time and giving myself just 15 minutes to prepare the site for the diners. Anyway it all went brilliantly and a good time was had by all. Slept well that night!

So here we are, I've just got shot of the Saturday potting team after another hectic session and managed to dash round the nursery to see what has grown, I have updated the list which should be attached. There are quite a few changes again as different varieties come back on line again. Numbers are recovering well after a quieter week on the sales front so feeling a bit better about the range we can now offer.

The new van had all its missing parts attached this week so we are up and running with all four vans now (famous last words). With the great improvement in the weather over the coming few days, and a bank holiday too, I suspect we will need all those vans next week. Deliveries won't start until Tuesday so if it is super busy we may stray into Saturday delivery, we will see how it pans out. I have a gang in on Monday to make a start on getting orders prepared so please do get any requirements to us as soon as you are able and we can start the usual juggle to squeeze it all in.

That's it, I've got to get back to it.

Wooden Box shortages

Same old story for this spring, we are still desperately short on our wooden display boxes, it is still hand to mouth on whether we get through each day without running out, so any returns are gratefully received. I'm going to spend the rest of my weekend make new ones in an effort to keep up with likely demand next week, but we are really dependent on those returns to keep on coming. Thanks.

Availability list highlights

Ok, there is a list again this week, hurrah! Numbers of some lines are still limited so there could be a few substitutions in the orders to make up numbers. If you prefer we can still do a selection of our own choice of the herb and/or perennial range again and will take your guidance on any lines you don't need.

Take care out there, from all at Kirton Farm Nurseries
