I knew the Sweet Lipstick pepper on the windowsill, overwintered from last year, was flowering – but these little fellas took me by surprise. The award for First Fruits 2009 therefore goes to this plant. The overwintered seedlings are still just that, and this year’s seeds (the ones I have sown) haven’t even germinated.
Meanwhile, Wiggly Wigglers are looking for contributions for their new catalogue (I was in last year’s):
“Would you care to be in our publication – I wonder?
We are just busying ourselves putting together the latest Wiggly catalogue and I woz wunderin’ if you did fancy gettin’ yer name up in lights? There’s no mega financial reward (although you know there will be a small Heather treat…of course for effort…) but what we would love is more bits in our catalogue written by you, – our customers and Wigglets. If you are thinking that the benefits are not totally clear, then please remember you will have access to 120k people and have the opportunity to change behaviours and minds (and plug your blog or website if you have one).
So, if you would enjoy having your photo published then please would you either:
1: Review a Wiggly product and send a photo of it in your garden – preferably being used by you or yours
2: Write a paragraph on what you think is really important in terms of really rural living. Whether that is teasels, plastic bag use, growing courgettes, or composting your copy needs to come from the heart and NOT be all preachy!
3: Inspire us with a story of you home or garden and the changes you are making.
Then if you would send them to me: heather@wigglywigglers.co.uk I would be pleased to publish as many as we can and with your permission ensure the others go up on the blog or facebook group. This catalogue we have space for about 8 piccys and paragraphs. Your notes need to be less than 250 words and please do not worry too much about spellys, Mary will sort those grammatical issues out….
PS DEADLINE IS 2nd March but the sooner the more likely…
Wiggle On
Heather”
