My sister in law is or was an hospital doctor. She told me in all the time she was operating ( over 40 years ) not once had she a problem with this issue. No doubt there is some truth in it. But it's not cyanide or arsenic. My grand kids are aware of the problem .
Regarding the fall I was a fireman for 30 years. The problem was I got a bit careless ( familiarity breeds contempt ) with ladders. I was hurt went to bed covered in tar. Moaned a bit but lucky enough to bang my head which is the safest place for me. Funnily enough a few weeks later I took another tumble off the garage roof. I ended up with a vey bruised hamstring . Doctor told me to stop doing jobs.

This picture is what I call a " bog plant" it is fed by water from the garage roof. This is now early June and by Augist it will be taller than an old fashioned Policeman. Remember we are good 3 to 4 hours drive north of Edinburgh without the help of the sea for warmth , Aviemore is the traditionan Ski Resort for the UK. Our air is pure as can be, and the water is as good as it gets. Unless you come in an electric car finding a charging point is not easy.
One of our first visitors for the holiday let was amazed she said she was part of the design team for Chelsea , and she took some of our ideas away with her.
It's a lovely story although this bit seems to good to be true for me. This is perhaps due to my own prejudice. What has encouraged you to post on this forum after 12 years of starting your own apparently successful business?
I'm not sure how a garden could be "CRM" style, in the same way as architecture or furniture. Perhaps you will help me understand?
Hi It was said just as we were starting the holiday let business. She did say to me she was part of a design team for Chelsea. She was impressed with my water feature which collected rain water from my garage roof and made my bog garden. I also had another lady say to me that it was better than Disneyland. Usually the kids seem to like the playing facility, swings and things. Someone else has a so who went out at night and captured moths in a lighted cabinet. She said he had found moths he had no idea existed. He would release them as soon has he had made notes and catalogued them. Just behind the house in the wood (Cairngorm National Park) they have built a cycle ride park, similar to a skate board park , which teenaged visitors seem to like. The holiday Let enterprise is not mine but my daughters. I got the idea to go onto this forum because as life member of the RHS I or I should say my gets loads of gardening magazines , I seldom read , as I am just the labourer round here , what I know about plants is not worth knowing. I am just the back up man. We have been to Chelsea several times , Only once from Scotland we used to go years ago when we lived in East Sussex. We did make what we called the Chelsea garden , It has gone now , we put the kids jumping frame in that area . A local lady designer said could she have the Garden which she took to the Edinburgh garden show, she was happy with her bronze medal. I think the judges did not appreciate it was based on a design of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. But that's life.
Regarding CRM if you go to the House of an Art lover in Glasgow you will see a garden based on the ideas of Charles Rennie. Basically our front garden is based on the willow tree , it is all black raised beds and black fencing to the square design CRM was noted for. There is some success but my wife is somewhat disappointed with it as the planting mainly grasses has failed There are a few ideas that have worked. I when I get round to it will take some snaps and post them. we can't do everything . We are book sellers we have nearly 40 thousand books on line , some days I process getting on for 60 books I take to Royal Mail. Since Covid the number have dropped today I took about 20 I think my sign name on gives away my profession.

Gorgeous laburnum but don't let the grandchildren near the poisonous seed pods.
