    Well I have caught up with your posts, and, you have been vey busy while i have been away. Glad you are spending lots of time in your gardens, or spending hard earned cash at GCs.

    A few days away and this place tries to revert to a jungle, so a lot of weeding for me this afternoon, especially as I am off again soon, taking the OH to Venice [ big bday. and wedding anniversary ]

    Glad your Meconopsis is growing KEF.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Hi Clarington.

    Just got back yesterday and thought i would Wait till this morning to catch up on the posts on here. Its taken 9hrs and that does not include the 'HELLO FORKERS!' thread. I saw your comment on the vermicomposting and will respond soon i hope. I do so wish you did not have to buy worms!!!image

    Kind regards

    Edd.

    Afternoon Edd! I hope you've had a lovely time away but 9 hours? Good lord we do chatter away don't we!

    I don't mind the initial buying of worms - because I didn't have to buy the wormery and I wasn't sure if the horse poo worms were of the right variety so thought it best to play it safe this time (plus I brought some meal worms for my resident robin at the same time). I shall await your full reply with quiet excitement. I think I've found a suitable location for the wormery - sheltered by a wall and fence on two sides and a trellis over the top that the whisteria grows over in the summer so it wont get too hot.

    That's lovely Tracey - you are a lucky girl image  I'm not really into orchids, although I used to paint them, and we have a Phalenopsis in the bathroom, but last time we stayed in Cornwall there was a Dendronium in the cottage we rented - it was gorgeous image
