Hello all,
I have been almost constantly off air for the last few weeks trying to
run a
new computer in and also Win98 - ughh!!! - the little man who lives in
inside
my computer has been extra vile to me and I think he ought to go out and
enjoy
our Spring garden.
I have lost most past info including e-mails. I am not sure what this
thread
is about but if it refers to visiting gardens in NZ, I envy you. I could
do
with a stroll through some of those beautiful Spring gardens. Twice I
have
enjoyed trips with A Historic Garden Society which were arranged by Mary
barnard. I have two of her books with great photos and text written by
the
garden owners - a la English women's garden etc. I recommend these.
We also have a New Zealand Gardening Editor in Suite101 who could be of
help. See my signature.
I am glad to see the old topic of slugs, snails and now slaters too -
why do
these pest's name all start with s?- resurrected. It is a particularly
bad
year this year for the first two. In Tasmania, it has rained for nearly
every
day in October!
