to visit for which I'm very grateful.
Our itinerary (after a few days in Xian) is Kerikeri, Napier & Hawkes Bay,
Wellington, Abel Tasman National Park, Wanaka, Te Anau ...

Glory, 'Grandpa Otts' seeds to give away, it seems a shame to otherwise
throw them away.

nemesia amelie
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:17:09 +0100
Anyone got any ideas about what to do with a nemesia amelie? It's been
in a tub flowering and smelling like mad since the Spring, so I don't
want to do anything to upset it.
I'd like to divide or propagate it in some way for next year, but not
sure what to do or when to do it. It survived last winter outdoors b ...

Bosch shredder giving problems
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:44:32 +0100
I have a Bosch shredder, model 1600HP, about 7 years old, that I use
for shredding shrubby stuff, mostly hedge trimmings such as Leylandii,
but it's becoming increasingly difficult to use. Twigs and branches
thicker than say a finger still go through more-or-less OK, but
anything thinner seems to get chewed up at ...

Water Irises

I've recently finished building a pond and adjacent bog garden, and
over the next few months I shall be equipping both with suitable
plants, most of which are waiting in pots. Amongst them are a good
selection of water irises including I. ensata (aka I. kaempferi or
Japanese iris), I.laevigata, I. lousiana, I. pse ...

fuchsia question
Thu, 9 Oct 2008 03:17:00 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
A friend just brought me a hardy fuchsia "Lady bothby" a kind of a
climber he said. The plant is still small like 30cm. I want to plant
this fuchsia under a tree where it still gets some sun. Now the
question is: should I plant it now or wait for spring?
thanks in advance.

Furniture on fire!!
Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:41:32 +0100
Today has dawned wonderfully bright and sunny and looking out of our bedroom
window just now, I thought someone had started a small bonfire in a strange
area of the garden. Then, on looking closer, I realised that great clouds
of steam were rising from a metal garden chair, burning off the dew!
