Alongside landscapes, horses are the love of Sarah's life. Hear how a St George's Day arrival led to seven sleepless nights which jeopardised her Chelsea preparations and left her on the edge of exhaustion.
Sarah's Horses
Monster veg
Today's the day when all of the vegetables arrive. I had a bit of a panic when I received a worrying phone call saying that some of them were over a metre tall.
And then the truck with the veg arrives - courgettes, spinach, black chilli peppers, etc. I've got to admit some of them are huge. But once I get round to planting and moving them around to fit the garden, the display and overall effect looks stunning in the end.
It got me thinking about all the horror stories you associate with Mars from when I was a child. Little green Martians with odd trumpets coming out of their heads as ears, intent on conquering Earth. Or enormous Triffid-like organisms attacking us in an HG Wells style War of the Worlds.
All very scary, but nothing like the raw energy I feel from this Bradstone garden. It feels far more biblical and primitive. Man going back to his roots.
