right. after a bit of back-and-forthing, yeomans have sent me their
catalogue, and various other burblings. i'm a bit horrified that they are
pro-nuclear. and also a bit horrified about other spelling mistakes
(actual
mistakes) in their leaflets - but let's not go there again. perhaps i am
also horrified that, for a machinery company, they have a LOT of opinions
(albeit badly-spelled ;-).

I find some of the opinions of the Diggers Club a bit horrific
(particularly
the nonsense they talk about native plants), but I still buy their seeds.

oh, i agree (if you're talking about their tendency to dismiss "native
plants" almost entirely out of hand!!! it's pretty outrageous).

but digger's don't undermine themselves in a breezily scary way - it's more
a preference & gardeners know their own preferences, so i suppose i feel
that doesn't matter in my own relationship with digger's. digger's don't
suggest for example that nuclear energy is not only economic for australia,
but that we can dump nuclear waste "in the titanic"(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

i'm starting to wonder if the yeomans family aren't just crazy hillfolk with
engineering degrees. (who won't just use their dictionaries.)
