    4 - agree about sneck @Fairygirl but if you click on the answers you got wrong at the end it does explain why the answer is what it is and that sneck is still used in northern England and Scotland.  Lots of Norse in the north of England too, especially in place names like ...thwaite.

    My RTBC is the mower actually started and kept running today.  I was shocked at just how long the grass is, but I probably haven't been able to cut it since early October so shouldn't be that surprised.

    I potted up 13 dahlia tubers (from Peter Nyssen) on the 3rd of March and four are already shooting. I’m impressed! Especially looking forward to seeing Mexican Star, a dark Dahlia x Chocolate Cosmos.
