Summer flowers
Brachyglottis ‘Sunshine’
This plant comes from the daisy family and has beautiful silver-green leaves and yellow flowers in summer.
This small shrub can grow up to 3-5 feet tall, it prefers full sun and moist but well-drained soil.
It reminds me of the house where we lived as children where it grew well in our garden in Harborne.
At Springdale it grows in a lovely sunny spot, well drained and beside the drive.

Jazzy Potatoes
Washed potatoes ready for the pot
Cooked and ready to eat
A delicious potato – one to remember – Jazzy
This is a new trial for Springdale. It has grown really well in the Polytunnel and is a tasty and strong growing potato which produces lots of evenly sized small waxy potatoes.
The cream coloured skin is very thin and needs no peeling, in fact it can be rubbed off with fingers.
This potato is a second early and has an absolutely delicious ‘melt in the mouth’ flavour.
