Believe me, Ziggy, I am more than grateful for the "likes" of you and the rest of the Gardeners Corner Gang

I think B and C have a lot in common really.

Both (a wife and a garden) require a lot of attention.
Both are expensive.
Both will be beautiful at times, and rather samey at other times.
Both will go off and do their own thing if you neglect them.
Sometimes you'll be welcomed with a warm embrace, and the sweet perfume, other times you'd really be happier somewhere else.
Your neighbours will sneakily look at yours, just to make sure there's is better, and will envy you if yours is better.
You will convince yourself that you're happy with yours, but it won't stop you looking at someone else's from time to time.

I only won one argument, by design, with my wife. For starters she was smarter and more intelligent than me anyway, but then most women are smarter than men!

We were "discussing" who was smarter than who. Standing out of range, I said "I'm smarter than you". She looked at me and said "how do you work that out?" So I told her "Well, I married you - now that's smart. But you - you married me - now that's NOT smart!"

Funny thing is, she didn't argue the point.:D

Very well put Dave.

Armandii, we are likewise enriched by your presence

Blimey, if this was an Angling forum we'd have 10 people disagreeing by now

I always thought the best tea tree, Ziggy, was a loose leaf tea, but yours appears to be a conifer:D

I think if you want to get into an argument on this Forum then talk about Gardeners World, the presenters what it should be, and how long it should be:DOH:
