Default Allotment vandalism

The message
from (Dominic) contains these words:

A couple of years ago I snapped a branch on an azalea, it was still
attached a bit. So I wrapped masking tape around it and propped it up
with a stick to hold it all together. Now it's as good as new.


This is a complete tear....One piece is on the floor....
But I have clipped it just below the beginning of the tear...

The good news is that its right over a nodule....SO I should get some
growth from that to cover it a little

Now.....If only I could get the plants that were in that Tom Cruise film...
Minority report....
I could cut down garden Vandalism in no time! B-)

Well you could try some 'defensive' planting and anti vandal paint (the
'non-drying' stuff.. That might be a primary deterrent at least.

I don't have any man-eating plants, but I do have a pyracantha and a
couple of berberis, which are more people-shredders...


HAHAHA!!!!!

I understand they take OK from cuttings, and I may be able to rootle
out some rooted bits (using thick gloves!). Let me know if you want
some.


Erm.......B-D



B-D? Better Doughnuts?


Holly seedlings too: I am beset with them!


*Ponders*
I like Holly anyway.....
Would you be willing to post it out if I send you something to cover the
postage?
(Would I be OK planting it now?)


They are pretty tough: I don't rate your chances of killing 'em off!
Should be fine if you keep them damp for a bit and I post them in a bit of
soil.

I did mow/snip off a whole bunch the other week that had come up in the
lawn and grass paths though, so let me have a rummage tomorrow and see what
is left and how big they are.

I'll email you.
