That's familiar! Ian and I can walk around, mentioning plants by name that are doing well, half an hour later someone askswhat it is and neither of us has a clue!

My dad always used to say "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know" in relation to gardening....but probably a lot of other things too ;D
