Last year I bought Dahlia "Totally Tangerine" and decided I didn't like it. Though it was orangish it also used a copy-cat name and the colours...
We don't have a ban as such, we just stop using our water when the tank on the hillside tells us to. We had a month of using bottled water for...
All right, hands up, I admit it, I'm not doing anything useful at all, but I don't care! Everything is looking so lovely and I am enjoying the...
@Ladybird4 They say one swallow doesn't make a summer, but 2 is not much better! Like you I am really missing our swallows, that have always...
