There were no adverts for weeds in the paper this w/e. I'm a bit disappointed - I wanted to see how you could dress up weeds as a good idea to buy! |

There's an article on the Weeds for Sale in this/ next weeks AG. They have sold out of nettles and are putting a larger part of the nursery to growing nettles, dandelions and buttercups cos they've been so sucessful Jasmine |

 I've got plenty of nettles! I was reading in the gardening bit of the paper about someone who'd bought a house without realising the garden had a 5m squared patch of JK in it - the seller had cut it down apparently - it was going to cost £1,500 to get rid of it using a professional company

I'll bet the buyers were raging. I would be, sold under false pretences or something. |

I thought the writer was very calm about it in the article - OH said she should be after the seller  |

Your OH and I are thinking alike Jasmine. It sounds like the seller was dishonest to me. |

You are supposed to declare it if you know it's there.

I know it's a long time since we moved but that doesn't surprise me at all. In that case I would be after the seller.

GI & EG are on their way Auricula & Ladygardener, I've put the Tithonia seeds inside the front cover LG. |

Post by Jasmine on Sept 16, 2013 13:14:09 GMT
I sent out the seeds and bulbs folk had asked for this morning but I've saved your seeds Jilly and Auricula until I send your next magazines - I could have kicked myself Auricula having only sent GA to you 2 days ago! |

Same here Jasmine, I had a plant to sent to Auricula but there was no way I could make an easy parcel with the magazine & the plant, so I've actually sent 2 things on the same day. Well it is her birthday

I've sent her a third hand copy of GA for her birthday - we are sooo generous - our generosity knows no bounds! |

I know the feeling! This is from September's The Garden and it made me think of Auricula and her dreaded montbretia! ''Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora 'Star of the East'. Selections of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora may have potential to escape, so ensure spread is prevented beyond the garden.'' I get a great picture in my mind of Crocosmia and Escape from Alcatraz! |

Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape" has nothing on Montbretia I saw that article Jasmine I've sent OCTOBER'S English Garden to you Jilly  |

Post by Jilly on Sept 19, 2013 20:06:21 GMT
Thanks you The thing is Jasmine I'm not sure Auricula is worried about the Crocosmia escaping into the wild it's the more the ones breaking in she's worried about |

It's all a cunning take over plan on the part of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora! |
