Absolutely agree Flo

However, I reserve the option to tease them just a tiny little bit first

You don't have to agree with people to respect them - everyone is entitled to their own opinions - we don't have to join gangs - I may agree with you on one subject and disagree with you on another - but I respect your right to disagree with me too.

Hopefully your friends are also entitled to their own opinions without jeopardising your respect.

Let's all be friends.

My thought exactly - the Fish4card chap posted the other day - I googled his name and found an internet company by the same name and suspect that it's just a way of his company getting lots of google hits and moving up the ladder so to speak - I think geoff alerted Daniel - maybe he'll follow up on this tomorrow - I'll be at work As for the Raptor with absolutely no manners at all - well, words fail me - however I've done my best to set a good example

Fish4card, unless you know James well, (and if you do I apologise) then it's unkind to tease him.

Annual climbers

Canary creeper scrambles rather than climbs, much as it's relative the nasturtium does, so it really needs a sort of trellis-type support that it can wind its leafstems around it.

Roast pork and apple sauce here - but we're eating later on in the day - too much to do to stop just yet

We've got a pair of peregrines nesting on the cathedral about 2 miles away http://www.edp24.co.uk/home/webcam/falcon-cam , and we saw one take a pigeon from our own roof last year - we do have sparrowhawks here too, and they take and eat starlings from around here, but these are very hefty (well fed) wood pigeons - I doubt if a sparrowhawk could take off from our garden with one in it's talons and there's no carcass here!

The first Gardeners' World

Does he get a flat fee out of which he supplies what is deemed necessary for the programme, or is he paid an hourly rate plus expenses?

Who paid for the additional land and the setting up of all those little gardens that Geoff Hamilton had?

Who paid for the improvements that Mr Titchmarsh and his Ground Force team wreaked on unsuspecting members of the public?

Perhaps Monty should've bought one of these instead http://www.primrose.co.uk/-p-49696.html?adtype=pla&kwd=&gclid=CIPek8arlbYCFW_KtAodZBQAmA ?

And then how much would we have been able to see as the camera man tried to stick his lens through a vent?

For heavens sake, TV programmes cost money to make

TIPS ........

Not sure if it's a practical tip or not - but coming from a farming family, I was always told that it was tradition for a farmer to judge whether the soil was warm enough to sow seed, by pulling down his breeches and sitting his bare b*m on the soil - if it felt warm then he could sow his corn.

Don't think I'll be sowing anything outside just yet
