But it's astounding how often his TV prog says of any plant it features "plant in full sun" and so oftent aht is just not the correct advice. I haven't noticed, but I wonder whether it's a case of what works in Melbourne might not be good for Brisbane? e.g., full sun might be ideal for some spring flowers in southern states, yet they'd find it too hot nearer the tropics. Perhaps the presenters forget this is a BIG country? And havve you never noticed how "Gardening Australia" will feature a subject/topic/plant on one week and Don will do the same in the next week? I hadn't, no, but I'll blame that on my short attention span. I have noticed it on Today Tonight and A Current Affair, just minutes apart. I will pay closer attention over the next few weeks, before they both end. -- John Savage (news address invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

No matter how moist the soil the small root systems just can't take up enough moisture to keep 'em alive. One day I might experiment with that spray that retards transporation.
