Actually OH he's worn out from repainting the windows, which I admit I supervised from a distance

I don't let him loose on the garden as he is a bit trigger happy with the Felcos and apt to trample everything with his big boots and then I have to be cross

and I'm sure a shy, demure little OH such as yourself could never really misbehave yeah right

Gosh heavens forbid that you get cross, and i will try to behave.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

I'm one of those quiet ones you have to watch OH Don't get cross often but when I do

Anyway I'm off to watch Midsomer Murders as it's just about my intellectual level by this time on a Sunday. I'll leave you to your mischief making

Nighty night all.

Hi all

Yesterday I started to bulid myself a new greenhouse and today I am paying for it I feel like I have been hit by a bus, it even hurts when I type.
But as they say no pain no gain so hopefully it will be worth it when it is finnished

Kind regards

I spent nearly two years watching a tripple expansion reciprocating engine on my first ship. I never want to watch one again!
Had a lovelly day Saturday. Watched Mary having some retail therapy, in the morning, and watched my local rugby team loose 57-17 in the afterenoon! Still trying to work out which was worse!

Herby - as you may have gathered I meant NEXT weekend!! Had to drive to Stratford upon Avon on sunday for a 3 day course so now trying to catch up on everything.
what did you plant in your sinks then? any recommendations?

Dear Zena you must be a clever old stick, and if your not you will be by the time you have finished all the courses.
As for the sinks i planted up, they were more of an alpine selection. I also planted up a very large, shallow circular tub with simular plants.
The plants consisted of a collection of Saxifages a collection of Sempervivums, creeping thymes, Dianthus erinaceus, Dianthus subacaulis?, Thrift, Phlox subulata, and a lovely little Limonium minutum, there were a few others but i can't think what they were at the moment. I know all these are not strictly alpines but they look rather gay together.
I used one part loam, one part leaf mould and one part pea shingle for planting them in.
Then top dressed with pea shingle when i had planted up.
Don't forget to put Pete in the bottom first, sorry i meant old crocks.
And there you have it job done.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

THeres no fool like an old fool.

You make it all sound so easy!

now if only i knew what all those ~Latin words meant!

he made them up zena-he's pretending he's clever

Thanyou for those few kind words Jopsy.
Todays the day, isn't it.
