"Janet Tweedy"


Well I'm only 2 miles away in Amersham! I know we are at the top of the
hill and it might make a difference e but we do have a LOT of flint.
Little Chalfont was always easier to grow things in when we lived there.


Does that mean your garden is well drained Janet?
If so how about giving the Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin) a try.
It will take frost down to double figures, down to -13°C in a friends garden
in France, just doesn't like winter wet roots.
