On the rocks...

This week we interviewed the candidates from the hermit shortlist - there were two! We invited them to Tatton to see how at home they would be living in a cave, with a skull to contemplate and very little else. They were so good, we have decided to let them do half a day each on press day.

On the garden itself, the work goes on apace. We have now stabilised the rock walls and have started planting. We are using three tree ferns, so hopefully the weather will be kind and not destroy them by 'the day of judgement' - all will be revealed.

We also managed this week to smuggle in our gnome to the site ('banned' under RHS rules). However, he did have his reflective jacket and safety boots on. He continues to remain elusive due to not having a 'gnome pass'. Look out for him when you visit the show as he is apt to hide amongst the vegetation until close of play on the Sunday of the show.

The guy across the way has offered a replacement for the gnome and the hermit and has a full size dragon he says he can lend me. Quite honestly, I think he is just trying to palm his mother in law off on us for the duration of the show - I'll keep you posted!
