So hope that clears that one up. Seems someone got their wires crossed, which is a shame. I will be the first to admit that Crocus can be pricey, but I have found their quality always great, and they have an impressive range of stock. As one of the internet nursery pioneers in this country we owe them a debt for the choices we have available to us now, and I, for one, salute them.
And now (as they say on the GQT podcast) .....back to the weeding
I too am a great fan of Crocus, an order arrived last week, on specified day, beautifully packed [ it always takes me hours to get the plants out ] no damage, and large healthy plants.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Verdun, I could do with you here fighting my corner.
I called the doctor in today, got a new one, ( wow, if I was only a few years younger, or 50!) anyway, he prescribed something strong, I had to wait for OH to get home before I could go down there to get it, goes into the private room to talk about it, oh dear he says, the date run out ages ago, can you pop in tomorrow. No I said, ok he said, I'll have it brought out to you. Result!
So there's another night of stress and agitation all round.
Who said she wanted to move down here, all very pretty, just wait till you need some help, the Marie Curie nurse who's from Oxford, says she's never seen such laid back people! They all 'do it dreckly' down here, and no one really knows how long that can be
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Morning all . It's been raining overnight. Have you had a good day Pat ? Lyn, I hope the medication gets delivered and tonight will be more restful. (hugs)
Good morning Joyce and everyone else as you arrive G'day Pat
Hurrumph! I shall have to carry out an investigation in the little greenhouse - I've been bringing the tomato seedlings in and leaving the cosmos in the greenhouse overnight - something's eaten the tops off of two of the cosmos
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning. Hope your meds arrive today Lyn - seems so wrong that you have to fight every step of the way. And hope Hosta had a comfortable night.
Could be meecy-mice Dove? I have a cunning plan to thwart our mice ......bit Heath Robinson, but will post pics if it works. However, our mice attack the sweetpeas, they haven't touched the cosmos ......yet
Morning all. We've only now got back from town - chiropractor for Hubby and grocery shopping for me. I'm worn out so sitting down with a cuppa and sudoku. Will read back later.

Thank you for setting that straight, Chicky. I have only heard good reports of Crocus from English friends.
