I'm glad you've enjoyed the results and I'll be bringing you more soon<br /><br />Intersting point Lucy. I've met really nice people at garden shows and at nurseries, but there are a few cumudgeons at the allotment - though that might be due to all the back breaking work and bending over that goes on!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-77679711702290536502010-02-07T10:56:02.615+00:002010-02-07T10:56:02.615+00:00I liked the complaint that plants wave about a bit...I liked the complaint that plants wave about a bit!<br /><br />I know there's a conviction around gardening blogs that gardeners are almost inevitably nice people (for whatever reason) but in literature / folk tradition I've always got the impression that gardeners are grumpy and old and don't want anything to do with anyone else (except Robins).<br /><br />Don't suppose either is the truth!<br /><br />Lucy<br /><br />P.S. The VW is 'drymarg'.
