Suttons Seeds
Posted in Gardens, Societies on Monday January 28, 2013| Leave a Comment »
A big thank you to Mike R for creating a second opportunity to order discounted seeds from the Suttons catalogue:
With the snow keeping me in doors these last two weeks, my mind has been giving attention to planning the garden for this year. As a paid up member of the Horticultural Society I have been wondering why my Suttons Seed catalogue has not arrived. A visit to my neighbour across the road reveals that the catalogues were given out at the AGM in the Autumn and there are no catalogues left. Further the P&DHS order has already been placed with Suttons and it is too late to include any order from me through the P&DHS!
The good news is that after talking to the organisers at Suttons this morning, they have confirmed to me they are willing to receive an order direct from me on the same terms as the P&DHS and a catalogue is being sent to me by return.
So, if there are any other Parwich gardeners in the same situation as me, puzzling why they have not been given a Suttons Seed catalogue this year, I would be more than willing to help out if they want to contact me and tell me their requirements.
Mike R. tel 390433
NB If you don’t have a catalogue, you can see what is available on-line at the Suttons website, but to get the discount don’t order on-line, rather speak to Mike. Existing orders are not effected by this.

Parwich Open Gardens 2012: photo gallery
Posted in 2012, Flora, Gardens, Photography, Posts of Note, Societies on Sunday June 24, 2012| 8 Comments »
Eleven Parwich households opened their gardens to visitors today, and thankfully the rain was kept at bay all the way through the afternoon – a rare stroke of luck, indeed!
This week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph – copies of which are still available – carried a full page colour preview of the event, with photos taken from previous years, and perhaps this helped to encourage what felt like a healthy turn-out of visitors.
This year’s delayed summer also meant that we were able to see these gardens at a somewhat earlier stage of development, with poppies, lupins, peonies and aquilegeas all providing unexpected splashes of colour.
Thanks are due to the Parwich & District Horticultural Society for organising the event, which also included cream teas and a plant stall at the Memorial Hall, as well as the childrens’ show of paintings and plants.
If any of our readers has photographs of the childrens’ show, we would be delighted to receive them. In the meantime, here are a selection of shots from this year’s gardens, all of which can be clicked to enlarge.

Trees and Insurance
Posted in Environment, Gardens, Housing on Sunday April 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »
In our current unseasonal dry season, and with increasing concern about insurance issues, it has been pointed out to us that we may not think about trees in relation to our buildings insurance. Trees are a potential factor in subsidence but also failure to disclose ‘relevant’ information even if not relevant to a specific claim can invalidate your policy.
Thank you to Terry P for the following information, about the potential impact of trees on insurance:
Just recently I have been renewing insurance policies for buildings in my ownership, and these days I have a little more time to study the ins and outs of all the excess paperwork the insurance companies send with your renewal notice. One thing to look out for, is when you accept their terms, conditions and quote you will also be accepting their PROPERTY OWNERS’ STATEMENT OF FACT which has more than one or two exclusions in there. One thing I picked up on, is the distance of mature trees from a building that are likely to cause Heave or Subsidence, (more…)

Daffodil Time?
Posted in 2011, Flora, Gardens, Posts of Note, Weather on Sunday November 20, 2011| 2 Comments »
Kevin S writes:
Today’s weather stats confirm what we all know: that the warm autumn continues (despite the fog). Even so, I was a bit shocked this morning when I saw daffodils coming up in the garden.
Remembering JFS’s photos of apple blossom, primroses and ceanothus from way, way back in October, I decided to list what was happening the garden. I found:
- Honeysuckle in flower.
- A Dorothy Perkins rose putting out new flower buds.
- A spirea starting to flower.
- Flowers on the white, summer-flowering jasmine (and on the yellow, winter-flowering jasmine too; no surprise there, though).
- Masses of flowers on an ornamental strawberry.
- Campanulas and geraniums in flower.
If it wasn’t for all the worm casts, I’d be tempted to get the lawn mower out.
I was on the phone to a friend in Nottingham yesterday, when she suddenly stopped in mid-sentence because a peacock butterfly had just flown by.
It would be interesting to hear what other unseasonal sightings people have spotted…?
