I don't remember seeing those flowery appartments when I was in Phuket - local accommodations looked more like this where we were: [IMG] Of...
Luckily, my garden is quite sheltered so I've escaped the worst of the wind. Even so, I have had to re-tie up my mangetout peas after their...

Don't you label your seed trays?? (gasp) I must confess to finding pots of plants without labels from time to time. I knew what was in them when...
