Thanks Dee! We’re still here, and thinking of you ….we’ll be in touch soon (we don’t imagine you’ve spent too much time recently yearning to get out in the garden ?!).

Certainly this winter hasn’t been mild has it?

I hope that what they are saying about global climate change isn’t true, because I heard that the scientists now think that we may have passed the point of no return. How depressing is that?!

Zebrinus has a looser form and often flops without support. Strictus is tighter in form and seldom needs staking.

I love the grasses, and have a little nursery area just for grasses. I divide plants there to use in other parts of the garden. I also enjoy the Lemon and Vetiver grass.

‘Oval borders’ more easily rolls off my tongue than ‘lozenge’ which reminds me of sore throat remedies. The beds are oval, the lawn they are set in looks oval. ‘Elliptical borders’ is kind of a mouthful.
