    Nemesis always reminds me off the classic line from the film "Snatch "
    (I have diluted one or two of the words in the quote for GCs softer ears..............:sunny:)

    : Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible person... ME !!!

      I can never seem to get orchids flowering again after they have been given to me.

      My nemesis is Lettuce, I can get seedling potted on..they start to grow bu by the time they get near edible size..they die!

      I think we have had 2 lettuces this year out of around 18-20, and its the same story in recent years too.

      Interesting thread indeedy. Mine's a simple 'nemesis', the lawn(s) front and back both the same. Have had the local 'greenfinger' chap, more than a ton of topsoil, boxes of seed for 'patching' and still have small bare patches all over the place - not good!
