     Evening all those still here.  Not been on today for 2 reasons, firstly and mainly because I have been working.....in a garden centre would you believe but with no time to look at plants!!! Secondly, because some muppet was doing my go head in and I do not want to send my time getting wound up with pathetic individuals, who it seems can now morph into other individuals.  Verdun, I support you 100%, this guy is an idiot and should really stick to the likes of FB.....playing with the children!!  I didn't want to say anything yesterday with being fairly new and thought maybe I was just over sensitive....it seems not!!

    Anyway, the reason I came on was to report my free strawberries and geraniums have arrived tidal and I bought 4 roses from Aldi, £1.89 each.  nit sure what they will be like but not much to lose if they are rubbish and thought I would try and gain some experience of roses before spending a fortune (although I think I am still going to get an Iceberg).

    Gardengirl.......the new GW mag, is that March's?  Mine hasn't arrive yet and a, I actually famous or doesn't it say it's my question??  Would be well impressed if I hit quoted LOL!!

    Anyway, that's all for now.  I await responses with ignore button at the ready if necessary!!!

    Haven't quite gone to bed yet!

    That plant is tanacetum Haradjanii or Silver Tansy. Mine looks as though it's died with all the rain we've had and they aren't that easy to find. I used to use the leaves in miniature flower arrangements in the village show when we lived in Kent.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Lovely pics GG, I forgot to say on my last post. I really NEED some Hellebores....not just one as they get lonely on their own image

    Wow....fame at last, I'm well impressed and without even trying imageimage

    I think I need some Hostas too, but don't slugs like them?

  • Yes they love hostas Tracey, broken eggshells around the plant help. But last year I put mine in tubs with a copper strip round the pot. They didn't go near them. Love hostas
