A green flash I missed was when traveling by plane. The pilot <br> announced &quot;did you all see that?&quot; and went on to explain what it was. <br> The general comments from passengers, including me, was &quot;what is he <br> talking about&quot; as nobody had seen a thing. I've discovered since that <br> the green flash can occurs when the sun &quot;sets&quot; behind clouds.

I don't think Martin said *whose* rib she'd misplaced. ;-)

Dust in the atmosphere, you mean?

I had a long boarded fence, and strung it with wires, up which <br> cotoneaster and honeysuckle grew. Both were fairly trouble-free, <br> although I periodically cut the top off the honeysuckle. <br> You might also consider espallier fruit trees, depending on aspect. <br> They are a bit more work but provide food. <br> There are two houses up our street with grape vines against fences.

Allotment is about productivity rather than tree hugging I do agree, but we <br> are the sort of nuts who enjoy leaving some long grass in our small front <br> garden, so as to get the delightful sound of grasshoppers in the summer. <br> This annoys those who like things tidy, and think front gardens are for <br> paving and parking cars on.

Same here. So good I went down to the seafront so I could see more of it.

Thats an excellent suggestion, thanks. Forgot that wallflowers only went <br> into the garden last month - <br> is there any other veg that could go in now? <br> Lol

1. container for tennis balls <br> 2. sand/cement mix for pointing patio kept dry <br> 3. 50,000 other uses if only I had more of them. <br> the supply stopped when we realized the fat balls remnants were polluting <br> our wildlife pond - now feed only sunflower hearts from a pigeon &amp; squirrel <br> proof bird table (inside a gambion basket).
