General Chat

That is very clever of you Sue having thoughts like that ... I can now proclaim you as relatively normal.

The Sedum " family " is vast isn't it Sue ......I think that the wild plant " stonecrop " , that grows on the beaches round here sometimes must be from the Sedum group .

You are in such trouble Diane and you just keep digging a deeper hole. Yes you should run.....fast.

The Crown Imperial does look lovely Amanda - but it says that it smells like a fox. Does it smell when you brush up against it?

See you later Diane ....and watch out that you don't trip over as your running .......lol

Good night Linda and of cause I wasn't refering to you hun.
Hope you have a nice holiday, see you when you get back.

Well time I was off as well ( can't run anymore I'm kna++++ed )

goodnight brit's and enjoy your day downunder's

Love you really Sue x

Diane

"but it says that it smells like a fox. Does it smell when you brush up against it?" Boom boom.

Sue - Chatted to Pat yesterday we are both in the third book of Stieg Larsson's - in fact I have nearly finished it.

I must go - I know that a lot of the northern suburbs of Christchurch have been rather badly hit (they have not been able to get coverage there for TV yet) the CBD is not too bad. The airport is back to working and things seems to be getting stabilised.

Catch you all later (well not Diane she had a head start)

Persey xx

The smell comes from the bulb more than anything Sue ....sort of musky but if you happen to spear it with a garden fork , then it really does reek ....lol

I've given up growing them , as the damned Lily Beetle destroyed the last ones , there is supposed to be a fantastic sort of "dew" globbit that hangs inside the flower , a friend of mine once snapped the head off a perfect specimen as he drawing it's owner to the spectical of the " dew ".......lol......luckily she didn't take his head off at ruining it .....lol

That was a quick bit of wit there Persey ...boom boom indeed ....you'll be giving Allan a run for his money if you keep that up ....lol....where is Allan by the way ? I do hope everything is ok in his world .

Goodnight Diane,
Don't worry - Sue can't run that fast - she told me.
sleep well - keep warm.
Tec.

Goodnight DIane .

I'dbest be off to bed , we are taking two of the Grandchildren to a Country Fair tomorrow , we haven't been to it for several years and I'm rather looking forward to it .

Have a good day Aussies etc and Goodnight Brits .

( it is nippy tonight Tec so I will make sure I keep warm ) .

Bye Perse,
I do hope things are are not too bad in Christchurch,
Take care,
Tec.

Oi Tec - I can run fast enough when I have to. I just don't want to:-))

I made a joke - and I didn't even realise until it was pointed out. Not only wise but witty:-))

I love chatting about gardening.

sleep well - dive under the duvet,
Tec.

Goodnight Amanda - hope you have a great time at the fair. We expect a full report:-))

Bye Persey - take care and have a good day.

Can't remember the last time I ran anywhere, don't think I could even if I wanted too lol.

I like hearing what people have in their gardens, and find it very interesting that you in Aus, and Perse in NZ have many things that we grow here - very envious that Perse can grow bourganvillia outside like they do in Mediterranean areas.
We don't have any big garden centres here, just two small ones. The best one I ever found was by accident up a little country lane. An elderly Dutch lady ran this tiny garden centre single handed. She had the most unusual things there that you never saw in the big commercial places. We went back often, and always came away with rare and unusual plants.

Tec.

We can grow bourganvillia easily here in Australia, Tec. It's very messy and when it's windy the papery flowers turn up in our yard and we don't have a bourganvillia. Obviously someone near by does. However it is a lovely plant.

As much as I love my garden I think I enjoy my potted plants more. I have so many - some would say too many - but they are a passion and luckily one I share with my mother. She has some beautiful plants and we quite often spend time together working on our plants.

Well I'm off to bed now,
Enjoy your day Sue,
Carole take care in the storm,
Good Morning Berona when you appear,

Goodnight all,
Tec.

It's lovely that you and your mum share that interest Sue, well must go,

Goodnight again.
Tec.

Goodnight Tec - sweet dreams.

Well I'll be off too as I'm once again left by myself:-(

~~~~~~~~~to anyone looking in. Stay safe Carole.
