	I'll get around to it eventually

Good Afternoon luseth and welcome to our forum

Everyone is very helpful and there is a lot of knowledge over a wide range of horticultural subjects. (Don't ask me about perennials, though)

If you like a bit of amusing chatter, without the usual online nastiness, you have stopped off at the right place

[p]daitheplant roofgardener sweetpea can be a bit naughty, but the mods keep them in check

Oi! I resemble that remark

I totally agree James. As if we could be such villains.

Hi luseth and welcome to the forum.

All the other posts are true about daitheplant, sweetpea and Roofy aka roofgardener They can be very bad

us mods have such trouble making them behave

But on the other hand they all have a wealth of knowledge and are jolly nice chaps really

To the 'naughty' guys and dolls with a wealth of knowledge (lol

) ........ I visited Yorkshire Lavender this summer and for the first time saw 'Patterned Sage' in beautiful pastel shades which looked lovely en masse. I've not been able to find details on any sites about this plant. Is it known by a different name ? From a very good girl, ha ha.
