    Our neighbours have a house in Greece with 800+ year old olives. They told me they trim them with chainsaws, which seemed a little barbaric, especially considering the mess he makes of his hedge.

    Plants you don't grow

    The big blowsey ones never last as well as the smaller flowered ones anyway. I do have a soft spot for Primula 'Wanda' it is a really good doer but I can't find it anymore.
