    The four acers I moved last year - one from pot-to-ground and the other three from ground-to-pot have all survived. Now I have three acers in pots I don't need.
    What do you mean- you can never have too many Acers-😄

    Well, some of you might recall me speaking fondly of my now very elderly, absolutely delightful and slightly batty aunty on the Gower ... Ma's younger sister ... a couple of days ago we heard that my cousins had been told by the GP to prepare themselves as the end was just a few days, possibly a few hours away. A photograph showed her pale and sleeping peacefully but yes, looking as if it was time for goodbyes.

    Last night we heard that she's now bright and cheerful and eating porridge with lashings of Golden Syrup ... 'Don't be silly ... I wasn't dying ... I was just a bit tired'. Great grandchildren have been waving through the window and there's been laughter and energetic waving back. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she donned her red leathers again and arrived here on a motorbike .........  B)<3

    Just how my Mum is behaving @Dovefromabove. One moment little sis is charging off to the Nursing home, because Mum is about to die, the next she is wide awake, demanded she be allowed to go home.

    Bless 'em both eh <3  @punkdoc  Aunty B was a primary school teacher and wrote and published poetry to raise funds for the NSPCC.  She also chained herself to lorries at the docks to prevent the live export of calves.  She never ever took No for an answer and was seldom without a broad smile ... nothing seems to have changed  :D

    When  you have both my lack of spacial awareness and gardening in general, oh yes you can. Luckily I now have a daughter (she suddenly appeared from nowhere) who has a garden that she needs to fill.

    @steveTu- luckily I have  a step daughter with a large garden too, so when things get too big or, as I did the other day re-pot 2 hostas, and end up with 6 guess where the extras go? 😀

    My daughter 's new rental came with a garden so I'm busy potting up loads more plants to take down to her. Hoping she's going to turn into a gardener. Have already had several earnest telephone conversations about veg growing in pots.
