I have found two lovely new hellebores and will add more ferns and hostas which Raph says will grow in dry shade. It may keep the slugs and snails away from them - we can but hope. I must be patient for two more weeks until my eye has settled down, but that is good as I shall have plenty of thinking time before rushing in with too much enthusiasm, as is my custom.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-35808339944244219482009-02-27T03:54:00.000-08:002009-02-27T03:54:00.000-08:00Hello Weaver,I think I would be an Einstein garden...Hello Weaver,<BR/><BR/>I think I would be an Einstein gardener.

Apparently I'm supposed to be greatful that they lower themselves. But my view point is that they should run the estate which they have experience of and not meddle in the running of the garden which they clearly have only a basic knowledge about. So to me your words make great sense, its all to easy to have an Einstein garden because so called smart people think they know it all. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against anyone having a go in the garden or anywhere else, I admire people who try which is why I always try to answer peoples questions on my blogs and for sure I'm not to old to learn but as you say - its each to his own if you want a good job doing.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830090701346321489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-72494209529837553862009-02-27T02:56:00.000-08:002009-02-27T02:56:00.000-08:00Patteran - reading between the lines I assume that...Patteran - reading between the lines I assume that gardening is not your strongest point.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-5433963581858501062009-02-27T02:55:00.000-08:002009-02-27T02:55:00.000-08:00Yes Kayla coo - that is indeed the view from my st...Yes Kayla coo - that is indeed the view from my study window - sorry about the washing line though!The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-60228802388804211222009-02-27T02:54:00.000-08:002009-02-27T02:54:00.000-08:00I do so agree Raph - sometimes I think people need...I do so agree Raph - sometimes I think people need a push in order to follow their real interests - our society has got so money-orientated that making it has become over-important.
