Hi Zena
I know how he feels. Some of the looks I get these days makes me feel as if I am a 90 yr olds toyboy!!

Hi Herby You take care of North Cornwall. On the longest day I'm off to south Cornwall for three days. My friend wants to go to the Eden project so will be in Parr, I believe it is 10 minutes from Eden Project. Never been to Cornwall before, that will then leave me about two more counties to visit i...

Hi Johnboy I was being a bit tongue in cheek. My friend whose garden it is planted in, gets very worried when plants are cut. We have the same discussion every year in late winter because the garden is bare. But come midsummer when all the herbaceous plants have regrown it is the overcrowded. I'm no...

Thanks Johnboy. If it doesn't comeback I will have to get another.
Pete

I planted one last year and have cut it back to about a foot in april. I was told by the grower that the best time to cut back is in april. He said to cut back to ground level. I hope he was right or I will be in trouble.

I'm ok. It was such a stupid time last time it was on that I had to learn to set the video. I haven't forgotten how to do it! Must find out what I have done with the videos I had bought.
