    I talk to my plants all the time!
    This sperengeri fern is 43 years old and has travelled with me all over the country! It also flowers abundantly every year which the gurus at Amateur Gardening magazine have assured me is uncommon! (Unless any of you know better!!)

    Lazy Garener - tell you husband that there has been good research done that talking to your plants (in a friendly manner of course) leads to healthier stronger plants. [​IMG]

    Will it help to shout at weeds in a very unpleasant manner, then? I could do with any help I can get! :D :D

    I talk to myself anyway, the plants are just an excuse! ;)

    Lovely plant MD, you were right to photograph it!

    Yes, got all the DVD's and agree with mayflower, but the problem is we can't pretend to be 29 anymore!!!
    :D :D :D

    Not when you see Richard Briers on the TV these days - he's not quite like Tom any more - so you just can't pretend!
