    apologies to one and all. Using the word eccentric was perhaps the wrong use of word and I see it caused rather a stir. I'm looking for gardeners who go the extra mile, that stick out that little bit more than the rest of us, their passions know no bounds .... it's a lovely little set of films for BBC ONE ...

    I find gardening quite a personal thing that I only share with close friends and like minded people.:wuvu: Thats why I come on this forum, because they are my friends and we all understand where we are all coming from.:gnthb::yez: 02
