I had a conversation with a lady recently who was asking about a particular plant. The problem is… she may as well said can I have a Donegan…. Bear with me…. I’m trying not to make this confusing, because it confused me, at first, when it was first explained to me… hmmm Anyhow.

increasingly I am asked why I bother to write this weblog? I don’t particularly know why…. Some see it as time wasted; some ‘don’t get it‘ and some wonder what I get from it; I decided to dispel the myths that may linger out there regarding my weblog.

You want to get the garden designed. You have already tried and after spending the entire lottery, it still looks humerous. The sun is shining. The neighbours have just started the barbeque. You own a jungle. Where do you start?

yeah i’ll be there in an hour…
We had to call a services company recently… We called at 9.11am and were told they’d be here in one hour. We called again at 2.11pm and were told they are on the way. We then called at 4.25pm to cancel [after waiting a full day] to be told [...]

this is another easy task that can [should!] be done in the garden. It also doesn’t require that much energy and is actually quite enjoyable!
