Lablab beans - for Nick
Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:43:32 +0100

Fuchsia sport
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:24:15 +0100
I have an unknown variegated fuchsia (leaves green centre, white margins

Is this a known habit of a known variety or have I got something new?

Soil sifter
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:04:26 +0100

electrically powered Scheppach RS400. I've just bought one of these and
