Missed you.


Nice to be missed but this time of the year I don't have as much time for
newsgroups as I do during the Winter months. Once everything is growing
strongly and all the basic hard work is done then I'll probably be online
more - depending on the weather of course.

I am ahead of myself this year, having done the chores I would normally
still be doing middle of April.
Like you I am not overly fond of bedding but I do at least grow all my
own, and cuttings taken last year will replace the more straggly
plants. I am amazed to see that two unknown fuchsias that were
supposedly tender have survived the winter, as with so many other plants
that I didn't bother to put under cover. Could this be due to the Global
Warming I have heard so much about... ?
We did miss the worst of the winter weather here in this part of Dorset.

Take care its jolly hard work, that you are doing.
