Our shorthand tutor had a problem with the word 'squirrel' - it was amazing how  many  times it occurred in dictation 

I'm falling asleep now so I'll say goodnight - see you in the morning.

I learnt to touch-type on great big old Remington machines that had all the letters missing off the keys - we did typing to music every day of the first term!

Lots of varieties here http://www.readsnursery.co.uk/categories/Fig-Trees/ some will give a ripe crop outside, some need to be indoors to ripen.

Don't grow potatoes in freshly manured soil.

Is the manure well-rotted or fresh?  If fresh it would be best to heap it up and let it rot down before applying it to the soil, otherwise it might be too fierce.

Hiya Dove, do you know what variety those violas are? I've grown many varieties over the years but never been aware of their scent. I'm quite tall so maybe I need to bend down more...ha ha. So, consensus is violas are the winners

I bought them from Notcutts, the label calls them Viola Violet Blue and says they were produced by http://www.farplants.co.uk but I can't find anything about them specifically on their website.  

The day I bought them I got home and I unloaded some stuff out of my car and then took a phone call - when I went back to the car the violas had been in the warm car in the sunshine for about 10 minutes - as I opened the door the perfume hit my senses - it was lovely - and even in the winter, if they get some warm sunshine on them and I bury my nose in the pot there's that beautiful scent again
