    Language ARMANDII.......I am shocked :snorky:
    Exciting isnt it, planting and potting up new plants?
    I have failed miserably with eremurus so very envious you have them growing there.
    I am determined to succeed with them though

      Definition of furkle

      furkle
      verb
      • usually used with "around", as in "to furkle around". To rummage, forage, search, root through something.If you need to plug in headphones occasionally, without having to furklearound at the back of the computer, most speakers these days have a headphone jack for that purpose.After another furkle through Queenstown stores, and an encounter with a giant kiwi bird, we went back to the hotel to eat, pack and sleep.

      • to fix, mend or repair equipment or machinery using whatever parts or tools are to hand. UK term.The engine was shot, but I furkled it with a part from an old tractor.You can borrow it, but it will need a furkle.

      It can be spelt many ways, you'll have to have a furkle/furkle around to get the spelling you might like.:dunno::heehee:

          I've never furkled, but I do a bit of "fettling," now and again.

                        Hi Beebee , it's gonna be in a large tub. I don't have any borders as I don't have a garden. It's a small gravelled courtyard style garden about 12' by 30' .

                          A day in the garden at last. :yes: There's not much happening though, I'm still clearing bracken and deadwood from the trees that's laying around the garden.

                              @KFF I will be interested to know how you go about potting your hibiscus. I've read all sorts of articles about pots, soils, additives etching. If you could give me your views it would be greatly appreciated.

                                I have an incinerator that I burn it all in, it's quite therapeutic standing and feeding it. :) Which reminds me I best go and check that it's gone out.
