The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Read the label first ...


Today I bought three fuchsia plants from Aldi - special offer and cheap.

Really lovely looking plants - well developed and bushy. The intent was to plant in small containers and leave on the patio over the summer, then moving them to a greenhouse to over winter.

I've transferred them to slightly larger ceramic pots - so far so good.

Only then did I read the label and discover that the spread will be 6' x 6' - far too big for the pots and the patio.

Hopefully they will become pot bound and stay small but in future I'll have to remember to read the labels first.

A lesson well learnt - like all lessons in life ...

Penguins - move your cursor and take them for a walk !!

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
