    Ooh, can I call myself a "trendsetter" then? I haven't been one of those since I was seventeen.

      Well I just knew we were ahead of the game. Interesting regional variations though, Snadge!

        Took my mum out today she wanted to go to Blooms big gardening supermarket!! At least half of their plant collection in smaller pots are now veggie plants, together with planters, veggie food etc... One courgette for £2.49!!! bargain! Cut and come again salad in a plastic pot for just shy of a fiver!! Bonkers.
        When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

          It's a trend that some of us have been setting since well before it was trendy!

            You are obviously at the fore front of cool Aunty Flum and you didn't even know it at the time, which makes it even cooler! You are a trend setter.

              I do wonder whether the reduced interet in flower SEEDS is because so many of the most currently popular types of flower are perrenials, and the rest are bought as plug-plants rather than seed.
              Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

                My (Landscape Gardener) brother thought I was mad when I insisted on a kitchen garden just outside my kitchen door. It looks classy but it's nice and easy to nip out and pick some dill, rosemary, fennel, garlic etc., and with a juniper bush in the middle, it even sorts out my evening drinking habits too! Built on what appears to have once been a victorian rubbish dump (bits of old pottery) it thrives, although I do have a running battle against the woodruff that seem to love it too.

                Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present.
