Now I love Mr T and all his works but I am wondering about the current series and the huge amounts of money spent even though I realise these are donated or sponsored items. This week though I also wondered about the recipient. He was a very brave man who had pulled his neighbour from his burning house and I think was also active in his community. However, the house next door was completely burnt out and the man who he rescued lost his wife in the fire. I thought perhaps it should have been his garden that was rebuilt. Perhaps its just me - you'll be soon to tell me I expect.

glassortwo I've bought some Yellow Rattle, which is supposed to weaken the grass and so the wildflower plants will have more chance to take hold. Probably best to just do a patch at a time. Just be careful for any other seed to go onto the patch you are working on if you don't want that seed to be there. Carol Klein does a lot of taking cuttings, propagating etc. Maybe look at some of her work on youtube. It could save you a small fortune. I hope you have lots of fun and pleasure doing it. PM me if you want, it is an interest of mine. X
