Just got a shock on BBC2 tonight coming from Hampton Court. There was my relatives doing a bit with Charlie Dimmock. I was too excited to notice what they were up to but it seems the Young son ws interested in gardening and his father Logan Sangster was doing a lot of talking to camera. and I didnt even tape it. Anyone else see it tonight?

Yes Carol, I saw it and thought how nice it was to see a young boy interested in gardening. I hope all his hopes for his future in horticulture come to fruition. It must have been a surprise for you :)

Lord Steve your HRT is wonderful, particularly the clem. Funny how we both fell for the same one! Mine's got seedheads too now - and I'm delighted with it!

Hi Lord Steve!

I love your new plants. I have bought the very same achillea this year. Had my eye on it last year and finally got it! I love your new clematis. That would look nice draped around my fairy door....ooer missus!!

Hello Lord Steve.Lovely pics. Trouble is nearly every pic I see of a plant I think....I would like that!!!! My sons second business is dealing in imported cars and almost every one he brings home I say "I really like that one, is it fast?" When I win the lottery I will buy one of them(cars) and invite myself to see your lovely plants ;) ;DOh dear that reminds me of that advert BRAZEN HUSSY!!!Regards Lorna.
