You know your plants hamish!! I understand you're a keen gardener also.
That's true, Graham, although I have lost my gardening heart to some extent since moving here 13 years ago. The soil is so very light and sandy that my choice of plants is terribly restricted. Fortunately, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camelias and Heathers do well, but I cannot grow any of the usual herbacious things - except in pots and tubs, which are hard work in summer!
I'm currently fighting nature in trying to keep the tons (well, hundredweights) of leaves off my lawns! Last year I spent almost £6,000 on having the latter returfed so I cannot afford to have areas being suffocated by dead leaves! I am surrounded by woodland and have a 260 years old Beech tree in the garden, so leaves there are - aplenty!
