Paddy

Luc, Paddy’s words are rather clear about that. I’m probably even too lazy to do that 
‘She’ told me already so many years: SELL THEM.
I did not, because I always thought I will have more time later       

We'll support Holland for the World Cup as a return gesture... 

You think that would be helpful when Belgians support the Dutch players Luc? 
I think they will win the Cup easier without   

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Ok Luit - then we'll support New Zealand - that might please other Forum Members...

Aaaaah, now I understand Luc.
You just want to support only the Underdogs, don't you?

David I see you want a bigger one then. Well those are granite, not sandstone.

Now I'd like to see the postman too

Oh, just get planting, Luit. And we want photographs to show you have done this!!!

What do you mean underdogs? NZ has high hopes of getting into Round 2! (Actually, I think I mean hopes of winning a game in Round 1. I'm not sure what the system is for progressing.) We don't expect to get closer than the quarter finals. )

Troughs could be mounted on skateboards then pulled behind cycles. That should please the Dutch and Belgians.

I was going to put a short note in the AGS Forum about the show, but as always, I can't remember my login details. Several tries did nothing. So here it is.

I was going to say in response to someone's note about Chiastophyllum oppositifolium being (with the Saxifraga) the most popular plant. This I can understand because it is a lovely thing in flower. But in a nursery situation, even when seen in the accompanying garden, it is just about impossible to sell. Why it that? They love it but won't buy it. These are not people who already have it. Same at a show. Love it but won't buy it.

[Maggi Young]

 Chiastophyllum oppositifolium in a pot has a tendency to look scruffy, something of a sprawler and I suspect that this is what puts folk off buying it.
