Spritzhenry's Outbox

Hmmmm...nice, though! Now what did I spot today .... oh yes! Two Hollyhocks with buds on!

What nice things you say! Thank you - it makes it all worth doing! :-) xx

I would believe - they are hopeless at plants!

LOL, Alz - no problem! We all do it....:-))

Shall we all sing to you, Motinot? H. wasn't very impressed when I tried it on him - he just ignored me!

Well, I'll be out with H. all wrapped up anyway - every day. I should take the camera on that kind of day, even more so as we don't get many heavy frosts here - we're near the coast.

I met SIX GOY members last year! It was great...

What - MORE crawling round on my hands and knees? Oh, thanks, Dd!!! LOL.

That sounds great! Any spare time?? You know where I am!!

I don't like wishing my life away - I'm not keen on winter, but you're right - I've tried to plant things that'll give some pleasure even during the cold months - and they do!

Absolutely. :-))

Thanks, Toto. That's lovely. :-)

I can tell you now - the first and second Thursdays in June, from 2 - 5.30. Not even published yet - hot off the press!

Jacque - he was delighted to have a new toy! Glad it gave you a laugh. :-))

I have a happy memory of her, which always makes me smile. She was persuaded to come down here to stay - at the age of 97!! and we borrowed all sorts of aids to enable her to see the house and garden...when my husband brought her to the gate, she toddled down on her stick - straight though the garden, straight through the front door - calling 'Where's Henry?' :-))

No - they used to give 10% off to us 'Senior Citizens' on a Tuesday, but they changed the system in January, and now you get points on a card - and vouchers and offers appear every three months! I quite like the new system - especially the offers! :-))

Well, normally I'd agree - but it can't spread to the back, as the space was measured to get the mower through, and as you know, we marked out the shape carefully. I shall have to be more ruthless next year with the 'spillers-overs'.

Chop the flower heads off as they finish, Mw. Just don't let any of the thugs seed themselves! Then you'll be OK.

If you watched all the programmes, you'll have seen her - several times!

VERY, Toto! :-))

My mum always used to ask how Henry was when I phoned her...not my husband - Henry!

You must be joking! If you'd met the lady, you'd understand that comment.......

Long time to wait.....................................

Well, Bamboo - it will be open again next June!! How about a trip to the West Country? I'll try to get the containers looking good again - just for you! lol.

Thanks all - your lovely comments are appreciated...especially by the birthday boy! :-)
