Lemmings!
You remember that well-known law?
Yes, that one. Been looking for a fruiting lemon tree for a while now - a long while, to take twigs and byds from to graft on to the tree I grew from a pip - I don't want to have to wait twenty or thirty years for it to fruit, I'd be ninety or a hubdred before I could have a cup of gunpowder, innit. So, last week Spalding Bulbs' catalogue droops into my letterbox (it was damp on the day), and in it is - you've guessed - a lemon tree. TAAAW, a solanum with melon-flavoured fruits (allegedly) and some more blueberries. So, not wishing to miss the opportunity of getting sundry freebies and a chance of a cordless drill thrown in, I ordered a pile of things and sent off the cheque. Today in Naaaardge, on a florist and nurserywossnames stall was a whole troop of lemon trees. With lemons. LOTS of lemons. Hooter and Klaxon! Foghorns! Steam-whistles and air-raid sirens! Sorry, that's a Sheddi progression... So, I have a fecund lemming tree, and more goodies on their way - soon, I hope. And another lemming. -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
