    Sincere condolences @Mary370
    How brave of you to post this sad news in the RTBC discussion.
    May he rest in peace in an Eden full of perfumed flowers.

    My RTBC of the day: this is the 3rd day in succession with a beautiful Spring weather, here. Flowers everywhere in the garden, competing for the best perfume competition. And the winner is... akebia quinata with its thousands of tiny flowers invading the pergola. An incredibly heady perfume, almost intoxicating.

    Stunning @Papi Jo.  Thanks for sharing.

    I have found some tomato seeds to sow.  Bit late but I was relying on chappy at the Angles Fête du Jardin.  Fingers crossed they germinate as some of uncertain age.  Just come in to find a pencil that works so I can label them.

    Beautiful @Papi Jo, I'm deeply envious, mine's nowhere near flowering yet.

    Very gorgeous indeed @Papi Jo 😎 

    @obelixx some years back Italophile (remember him?) sent me some (quite a few) saved tomato seeds that were at least 13 years old back then. I’m still getting neatly 100% germination from them.
