Default *Very* clingy rosemary

If you persist in calling a plant by the wrong name, people cannot find it.
You still call this plant "Jackman's", which is not its name. Charlie
suggested I ask Burncoose which rosemary they have in their car park and I
have done so. Neither Charlie nor Burncoose - yet - have told me this is R.
"Jackman's Prostrate". If it is the one our friends have, all well and good
but if it is not, all your jumping up and down is to no avail.


(light pruning)

Sacha - it's fine. You need to also calm down. I understand what you
are getting at now. Put simply, I get it see, but if you don't tell me
what you mean, then I won't know. Not yet psychic but also I don't
have your knowledge. Yet. Give me a couple of decades. You are now
saying that the RHS plant finder has the wrong named plant in it.
Thank god you're here. That's all I have to say.

As for boasting - I don't do it more than you, beleive me. However,
before you tell us that your customers wouldn't care less about the
provenance of their plants and you boasting about your god daughter
activities in Totnes, perhaps she'd care to know, prior to inviting
Paul Mobbs and Kate Dooley, who I happen to have met, that you sell
regardless of provenance. Ho, but you don't, your husband does. Silly
me. I get so confused to what you actually do in that nursery. What do
you actually do?!

As for the killfiling - you've done a good job there. Telling people
to kill file others is indeed a great pass time of yours. It's easier
than being found out incorrect or are we just a little bit too
controlling here?! By the way, a few have stopped even reading you if
you must know.

Hope you find your plant - I couldn't care less anymore.
