    I’d fight you for it @uff … but it wouldn’t really be fair cos we had some locally grown asparagus for supper on Friday 😋 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I'm not sure if this is a RTBC or a Curmudgeon one.  My wife retires later this year and has started taking much more interest in the garden.  It's costing me a bleedin' fortune in new plants.

    Look on the positive side KT53. It would cost you more for a divorce so just smile sweetly eh?  :D

    You're probably right @Uff.  I do find I'm having to bite my tongue on occasion with some of the plants she's taken a liking to.  We've been in the house over 30 years and she's never really taken much interest in the garden so it's been done to my taste.  I certainly don't want to dissuade her from taking an interest, but I did draw the line at Red Hot Pokers.  It's the one plant I absolutely loathe, for no logical reason.

    Just going to book a world cruise thanks to a massive unexpected windfall.  I had the annual statement for a building society account I'd forgot all about.  Interest payment this year - 8p. :D
    I think I'll suggest that in future they notify my by e-mail and add the postage and handling costs to my interest payment.
