Zeppelins

I am no gardener. I must have rebelled ,after my Dad used to drag me out to do the lawn when I was a kid. I keep mine tidy, but that's it, none of this Faffing down Garden centres cooing over the plants saying 'oooh that's nice' every 5 seconds. So imagine my surprise when my boss took me to one side last week to tell me he was off to Spain for 10 day's,and asking me if I would water his prize begonias ,that had just been planted in the Greenhouse. "No problem" I replied, and he left, safe in the knowledge that his precious plants were in the best hands possible!!! Fast forward to 8 days later, and my work colleague casually asked me if I had remembered to do the very important watering............ooops. Forgot completely, and as I approached the Greenhouse, very tentatively, all I could see was a dried up mess in every potting tray. Believe me I am so in trouble, unless I can high tail it to a Garden Centre (oooh that's nice) and buy some surrogate plants? Of course I may be luck and Charlie Dimmock might call in to give me some advice, however if she did I would have more to talk about than the Begonias nudge nudge wink.
