Hi zooooz,
I'm starting to firm up details for the event in September and wondered whether you could confirm whether or not you'll be able to make it. May thanks

Zoooz,

How heavenly! What are your first spring flowers there? We have a couple of weeks before spring and we all have spring fever!! My chives are greening uo- never have I gotten so excited over chives! Usually the snowdrops bloom first!

Bonjour zooooz, Just thought I'd say hi to a fellow inhabitant of France. Excusez moi parce que je ne parle pas en francais mais le niveau de mon francais est trop faible.

Hi Zooooz,
weather here isn't that great at all right now, rain all day.
Are you close to the sea?
We are about 40-50 km away from the sea, it does get a bit frosty here occasionally. So no, all year round blooming bougainvillea and jasmin for me, but I planted two of those lovely magnolias last year. We got them half price from a gypsy man who was passing by our door.

Hello Zooooz,
is this a magnolia in the background of your photo? I really love magnolias and their fragrance. Southern France is one of the places I would love to visit one day. I have been to Corsica once, a wonderful place, fantastic scenery everywhere.

I tried to add a reply to two posts and got an "error on page" note !! But then it asked me to sign in again !! Would that be the reason my posts did not work ?? Sign in was negated ?? Or is it common to have to do this occassionally ??

Wow Sandra! You've asked for an awful lot of information! Start by checking for your "predicted" last frost date. There are frost charts online, but the quickest way for you, I think, is to call your county extension agent. He'll be listed in the ph…

Had no luck with gem squash last year - it was just too hot! So I didn't try this year. Maybe next summer.

Yes it's hot but very humid which is unusual. We are having a spell of days in the low 30s but tropical air is being pushed south by the weather systems up north and we are getting rain and humidity. The rain we love - the humidity we are not used t…

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
