      Dearly missed Geoffrey Smith, spoken in his dry North Yorkshire accent:
      "Put the brown end in the soil, the green end above it, and you're in with a much better chance"

                Just adding in my new garden sign at @BeeHappy's suggestion - unlike her I am not clever enough to have painted this myself, but these slate ones are easy and not too expensive to get engraved on ebay:
                006.JPG
                The quote is one you see inscribed in Urdu at the Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir, the Red Fort in Delhi, and various other grand places in India and Pakistan. Supposedly written originally by a thirteenth-century poet, Amir Khusro.
