“Grow, you bastard,” I said, a charm I learnt from my saintly mother.
I LIKE this charm: short, powerful, and to the point. I shall go and repeat it to several plants around my house.
|
Hmmn. I shall try it on the beans (broad, runner, borlotto and French) which are lagging and being recalcitrant. I did stomp around last night saying 'Come on, Beans!'over and over. Obviously I must be less polite. The tomatoes, however, have put on 6 inches (yes, really) since Monday. I fear they have a triffid gene.
As for the roses, I can see my 2nd season Paul's Himalayan Musk from my desk as I type, swaying gently pink over the old plum stump. Rambling Rector is just coming out in the acacia tree, eclipsing the acacia blossom and catching unwary cars in its tendrils, which keep falling down. That's a triffid too. I lost Kiftsgate a year ago--a huge one--which just died on me. I think I shall plant the next one under the hazel clump and hope.

Tricky, I quite agree. Might be worth contacting your local BTCV people? I'm sure they'd be delighted to take them from you and use one of the volunteer groups to get them planted somewhere appropriate.

I was just thinking sort of the same thing. What is suspicious behavior for an un-supported individual can become perfectly innocuous civic behavior when performed by a group.

SEE? YOU NEED TO GROW ROSES. THERE ARE SOME VERY NICE SINGLE RUGOSAS, FOR EXAMPLE, RUGOSAS BEING MORE OR LESS UNKILLABLE. SCABROSA, FOR EXAMPLE, DESPITE THE UNFORTUNATE NAME, IS NOT ONLY HOT PINK BUT HAS A TERRIFIC SMELL. JUST FOR EXAMPLE.

Oh dear, I'd no idea that having English bluebells in one part of the garden and Spanish in another might give rise to some sort of awful hybrid. I wonder if they would be sterile ... or could I end up with giant mutant bluebells battling it out with the daylilies?

No, no, bullies are a separate planet! I LOVE bullies! I DO NOT LOVE terriers! Quod erat demonstratem or something!
|
Except that bullies ARE terriers - their full name, after all, is Staffordshire Bull Terrier!
Wonderful dogs. My mother grew up with them, and they are her "default dog", as my "default dogs" are labradors, which is what I grew up with. But when we only had one young labrador (there used to be one young and one old), my father didn't want to get another labrador for a few years, but the then lab was obviously pining and not liking being Only Dog, so Heather entered our lives.
Heather got to sit on peoples' laps. Heather got to sit on the sofa. Amazing what a difference the breed makes, doesn't it?!
And, of course, later my father got another labrador, so there were 3 dogs; and then my parents would babysit my aunt's Staffie, or my brothers' dogs.... and ended up with an enormous pack on occasion!

Please. Your logic is showing.
I like bullies.
I do not like terriers.
Ergo, bullies are NOT TERRIERS.

So would Paul's Himalayan Musk or Bobbie James!
The foxes just follow the holes the rabbits and wombats make under the hedges.... :S
