              Those plants are banned on here, mate :stirpot: ... but never mind, :sign0016: to GC.

              Lots of lovely people on here, as you'll find out.

              Hello Darren, I am off to Blackpool for the third year running in May attending the Brilliant Blackpool Extravaganza music festival I Love Blackpool even tho am a Southener used to live there in the 50's not a lot changed except the posh new trams and the OAPs pass. I would not attempt to grow anything over a foot tall as I remember the wind dashed every thing to the ground even the pansies. You will love this site for the info and the fun.
