Agreed; *if you pull a leaf away from the stem, it comes away with a
short "thread" of stem fibre; hence the name. *Nice spring hedgerow

Des!!! *We don't see enough of you in here recently, how's your

Hi Judith:
I have been in hibernation; garden is full of weeds (my bits anyway);
will start gardening again in a week or so; my wife has planted some
spuds and kept the worst chaos at bay and dropped subtle hints at me
to do some work to help.

Des

Same old then Des :-) Our spuds are not in yet, the earth is still
not warm enough, next week maybe.
