Well being a bit inquisitive ( yes nosey) I decided to dig one up & was quite amazed by the growth, the seed was sown march 06 so really amazing growth ( I think) .
I am going to get some troughs & see how well they do with more free root run.

Oh well
Maybe next year!, still got ELK to look forward too........ & Bradford, are my eyes green with envy- LOL

I thought Ian was offering!, only 600 or so for him to write out,

when did you say you were available Ian ? :~))

Hi lewis Meant to reply earlier to this thread but as I'm at home for most of the school hols, it's a fight to get pc time-pesky teenagers!! Probably like quite a few peolpe on here I have a very mixed collection & as Phil mentioned I do have some staphs , huernia's & a very nice tromotriche...

I'm pretty sure it is too late , you will need to phone David Kirkbright ASAP but when I spoke to him saturday it sounded quite final .

I was told to be careful with the vino at the saturday meal as you can get carried away with the bidding when the auction starts.

I hope you two are going to give us lot's of feedback !

Cheers Mike
A nice fix before bedtime :~))

Hi Bill
Happy birthday & hope you have a great shopping trip, I won't be at the bradford sale as we are going on holiday so unluckily for me ( lucky for hubbie I suppose) I'll miss all the plants.
