Re: [IGSROBIN] Geranium Article Alert!! - from the article's author!

Hi Graham!
Nice to hear you are on the list too :-)
Have to tell you that Gardener's World is available in The Netherlands
too so I of course bought the february issue at the train station of
Haarlem just before having a 5 hour committee meeting about agriculture
& nature & water management and I can safely tell you guys that instead
of listening and talking and debating I spent a lot of time secretly
reading your article! Don't tell my colleagues please - it might harm my
political carreer <g>
