Gardening is something best enjoyed "à deux" so up to meeting Raphael my attempts were limited to an occasional trudging around with the lawn mower. And I shall print out and translate the Kipling poem into French for my green-fingered archangel!<br />wunda: the only word to describe my garden this year!<br />and then that word verification was refused, so:<br />chdupe: an especially long entwined bit of bindweed - the bane of my flowerbeds!Suzannenoreply@blogger.com
