Is there any truth in the saying 'hasn't got green fingers' my mum has a gardener [she's 84] and he is great at digging and odd jobs but everything he plants [buries] doesn't come up, she went up the garden yesterday and everything she had done herself was doing really well but nothing he had planted. It can't be the soil or her's wouldn't grow and she was ther when he did it so she knows they're there. Someone told her that it could be something to do with a chemical in sweat, has anyone got any ideas? Also he thought a redcurrant bush was a bramble and cut it right back, it did have leaves and had started fruiting and now they have all gone yellow and curled up and died but there is no sign of insects, all help appreciated. [or a good gardener in Bournemouth] Thanks Chezzie
