    Oh dear! Poor you Pat image Ear pain is grim. 

    I don't know that violinist. I've just checked google ... There's lots about him on the internet.

    Morning dovefromabove and pat e, i'm new to the forkers thread.....sounds like you will be getting busy now april is here! I had been busy with seed in cold greenhouse,sadly mice ate the lot!? No point starting again unless i put covers on trays☹️

    Today is special, i am taking part in my local horti spring show, first time ever.....rhubarb, vase of camelia's and a tulip ( i have one stem ready, phew that was close ) i now understand what they say about it all being about the timing! Should be fun, i love to see all the more mature experienced gardeners showing their plants off, it brings them such pleasure and joy to take part, and us younger models can learn so much from them over a cup of tea and a wander after the judging?

    Hello Loana image And welcome aboard image

    Good luck at the Hort Show. I used to take part in our village horticultural shows (3 a year) when I lived down in rural Suffolk. They're a great institution and a lot of fun .... usually image As you say, there's a lot to be learned image
