    Just treated myself to some Wolf Garten interchangeable tools/handles. They weren't cheap but once you've got the handles you can buy different tool heads to attach.

      they have stopped emailing me , I bet its because of all the moans and groans they have had off me and the replacements and ££ back :biggrin: over the past 7 years of living here at this address and each time they messed up I aint buying off them anymore, they have just gone to big. I know they are very good at sorting stuff out, but every year !!!!! :thud:

            Fantastic tools - I started off with their anvil cutters, and have since added the hoe and window cleaning attachments too. Superb quality.

                      Dont know why I've not grown one before, but I came across a small T rex in the garden centre and bought it, any advice on the conditions it likes would be appreciated.

                      Also came across a very healthy 4ft high plant of Passiflora "white lightning".

                      Haven't got a clue where I can put either, no space.:gaah:

                        Aggggggghhhhhhhhhhh! I've got loads - if only I had said you could have had one of mine ... if only I had said that I had loads you might have done!

                        I have three different types, once of which is the original T. rex I got from a garden centre. The others have really deeply divided leaves (and of those I only have a couple of children of one of them). I can sort some babies out for you, if you have enough room for any more?

                        If anyone is hankering after one let me know :)

                        Actually, I might dispose of the rest at @shiney day - they might be a novelty crowd pleaser :)

                          We're happy to try and sell any plant :blue thumb:. Not sure I would want one for myself as it's normal practice to wrap the trunk for the winter. Are you able to keep the suckers (used in the true plant sense :heehee:) from invading the garden?

                            They tend to come up where the parent roots were severed in other gardening operations. They are not overly strong, initially, so pulling them out is not that hard. Particularly if you are inclined to pot them up for sale!!

                              One of these for the greenhouse. Bit of a faff to put together, but handy having the five shelves which are at staggered heights to my three and four shelf ones which should help make the most of the light coming in.
