    This may be the start of a new hobby - my daughter has introduced me to photobucket - now I just need to steal the camera from her!

    Have your rivers dried up fmay ? It is a great idea and gives you load of planting space. Skunk cabages are great and easy to grow. These are at Beth Chattos (middle of the photo) down the road and are lovely.
