    'Skitters' is a bit of an ambiguous one here. Freckles are known as 'skitter japs' in some quarters!  :D

    Skitters mean something a little more unpleasant to me, but your meaning is clear ;)

    I work with a French chap and his wife decided to teach him some Ulsterisms. When someone turns to you and with a dead straight face and a French accent says "I am a wee skitter" it is one of the funniest things ever!!!  :D

    My definition of "skitters" is the same as Hosta's.

    This chap must be nearly 40 years old. It didn't  take to being repotted and  rotted almost  completely  away
    I was going to compost it but  it has chosen life

    A few years ago I had to clear a shrub border because of honey fungus. There was a weigela, full of fungus, a Philadelphus and a lilac that had to go and since then I've grown perennials there. Part of the lilac root was under a stone retaining wall, so I cut off all I could reach and left it to the fungus. Which is why I now have a 6ft lilac in the middle of my perennial border. It flowered beautifully this last spring :)
