    I have just down a slug run, it is chilly out there, I hope you have all your plants wrapped up nice and toasty.

    KG are you excited? are you a good flyer, do you sleep or read?

    V excited!   Unfortunately I cannot read on the plane.  It's a nuisance because I love reading and I could read a whole book in the time it takes to get to Melbourne.

    @Rob Stevens, well you are much informed image

    Sounds like your version is very attentive. Trial and error and personal experience are always the best ways since everybody's garden environment is different. What I meant by loose frame was to push stakes or pruned branches around the clump in a circle and use string to bind the circle together. I saw it done at Kew once but I'm thinking that is for very large clumps probably. The theory behind it is a little sway is okay, but holding the flowers too tightly will snap them.

    Your methods with the figure of 8 sounds great.image

    There is a three hour stop at Dubai.  I have spent quite a few hours at Dubai over the years but never got out of the airport!  I can't sleep on the plane but I listen to a lot of music to drown out the droaning of the engines.

    I'm hoping that it doesn't rain tonight because I want to give my lawn a good mow before I leave.

    Have a good flight/trip KG! Hope your garden is full of wonder when you return image

    KG I did a stop at LA once I went shopping with a girl I met on the plane it was a bit surreal. Dubai would be interesting.

    It seemed too cold out there to rain. How much else have you got tod do before you go?
