Yeah sure, that's really scientific there, Heisenberg.

I live in town and there is a very large plane tree just outside the
front
door. For some time I have tried to grow an agapanthus around the base
of
this tree purely for ornamental purposes. Alas, all previous attempts
have
failed because these newly-planted African lilies succumb to the
attentions
of dogs and vandals. At this point I might just mention 'en passant'
about
the continued inexorable rudeness and endless babbling of the incumbent
troll-creature trying to pass his potty-training exam. Anyway, this time
I
thought I would try planting a whole clutch of agapanthi together and
this
involved the hiring of a large electric jack hammer. It was tough going
because the tree roots kept getting in the way and the jack hammer was
ineffective in cutting through these. Nevertheless I managed a fairly
large
hole after a lot of work into which I lowered a very large clump of
well-established plants, pausing only to trim the copious root system
with
a
breadknife. It all looks magnificent, of course, and I will keep members
informed. There are about eight large plants in this clump and I hope
this
will be a good test. I feel I should warn the reader about the rapacious
habits of the machinery-hiring gypsies who require not only a large fee,
but
a driver's licence and the number plate of one's automobile.
