Re: Re: OT:PLANTS: TB companions

Hi Ellen, Why do I lift my daffs often, well apart from the fact that they
increase at a rapid pace here, its a bit like this....I hate housework, but
find that moving plants is a bit like moving the furniture in the house, but
a whole lot nicer...I like getting dirty......:)  :)  Me smiling cos I have
been in the garden all week....Bye, from Wendy Sargeant, wendon@dcsi.net.au.
